A great photograph is when the viewer is able to interpret the photo and tell a story. They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, so being able to put words or meaning behind a photo makes it great. Additionally, when the viewer is able to recognize the subject of the photo and can establish some explanation behind it. Photographers capture a specific moment, a great photographer will express the full capacity of that moment. This enables the viewer to feel the emotions of that moment captured and interpret the story that is being told.
