What attracts us to a photo? What makes us like a photo?

There's only you and your camera, guess you forget the memory card again?

It freezes time. Nothing else ever will, maybe video?

Sometimes you have to know some history to be moved by a photo. I walked into a gallery in Santa Fe and saw a $3500 photo of McArthur walking ashore at Luzan. The younger generation might wonder why the price, but it held my attention for several minutes. I understood.

Well said, Dennis! I look at a picture/photo and try to envision not only what I see but what the photographer sees it what he/she wants me to see. Most photos I took a few years ago was when I had cataracts so the color had a slight “yellowish” tint. After I had the cats removed I saw them in a different light and “corrected” the color to appeal to me and hopefully the brewer. My point is I started seeing light and color in is natural hue and my photos improved.

The math of a beautiful image is easy: it has twice the megapixels of your current sensor.
My business card reads, " A picture is a poem with words." I have sold images for billboards with a 6mp camera. If you believe that the photographer with the most toys wins then you have missed a whole lot about photography and the art behind it.

I did some consulting with a company that provided massive posters on canvas that were made to goe on large buildings. Some were up to 100 feet by 80 feet. The pixel size varied from 3/4" to 1/4" Not much to look ar on the ground but looked great on the buildings.
The printers were 20' wide. The prints were sown together by machine. Pixel size matters.

If we did not know better, we might wonder why a ranking military officer would wade through the surf and ruin his dress shoes. The history of General MacArthur, however, informs this photograph. The Japanese ran him out of the P.I. during WW II. But he famously said, "I shall return." Believe me, the Filipinos have never forgotten his pledge and his fulfillment of it.
