What makes a good photo has to be absolutely raw raw raw the only thing that matters is that you shoot in raw!

An artist can capture beauty with any camera. The rest of us need the best camera.
And don’t forget raw!

The real beauty of photography is found in all the unwritten rules.

I have photos that have won contests. They are NOT my favorite photos. Some of my favs may be a bit out of focus, sun glare, things that many photographers here would delete. Tp me they are great.
Popularity makes a photo great. You post it here or on your social media. You'll get oh how great it is , or you'll get nothing at all. Then you'll know.

Just like a favorite song that was shared with an important someone, or incident to a place and time, a photo can have the same place in someone's life.

Stumbling across folks like Hugh on YouTube is always a pleasant surprise. He's one of the wise owls of the NYC photography scene.

I found myself saying, "Yes! Yes!" at every turn. I'd love to hear what you think. You will have to watch to the end to get the whole "picture."

Another lecture/discussion by someone who appreciates Leitner and has the words to talk about it. But after a minute or so I started fast forwarding and never bothered to get to the end. Each to one's own.

Will watch the rest later, as on my way to work, but just saw at 5:50 where someone had paid $200 mil for a Pollock work of , of, don't even know..., but $200 m?? (and it looks like you might find it dusty in a Kentucky flea market for $5.)
You may not like Pollock, but it certainly doesn't look like anything you might find in a flea market for $5.

And yet Teri Horton purchased a painting at a thrift store for $5 in 1992 that could be a Jackson Pollack (authentication is time-consuming and can get expensive), and that's not the only one that has surfaced in unexpected places and initially thought valueless.

Appearance is 100% the deciding factor of what is a great photo. I never saw an auction catalog that dissected the equipment, shooting mode, focusing method, etc. of a photo going on the block.

That is reasonable except in books for photographers or other artisans or artists. After all, the paint brushes are not described in the sale of paintings, but usually "the medium is listed, though." And in photographs, although as you say the camera info in not given---the printing data is given to assure quality to the buyer.-------ew
