When you first look at a photograph and make an initial judgment of it as being 'great', is it because it is technically great or because it makes you feel something? In other words, are you reacting to its technical quality or its emotive quality? Explain in detail.

To be honest when I first look at photos I look at them as being great or good photos because they make me feel something. For example when me and my friends take pictures, I think there are some that are good pictures cause they make me feel happy when we all look happy. I don't necessarily look at the technicality of them as being in good lighting or not being on bit blurry or having no red eye. Or the pictures of objects that we take, I think some of mine are good photos because of the feeling they give me of being a so called "cool" picture, like I captured it as a more potimistic or pessimistic photo not techincal at at a certain angle or scenario. I think there are different ways though to judge great photos.
