I do agree to a picture that evokes an emotion or helps recall a memory - some association. And, some pictures make you have a 'feeling' about a moment that was captured in the photo. Kudos if the photog. had the eye and the capacity to capture this moment in time. Next is the quality of the image - sharpness, contrast, level horizon, cropping, etc. Then we come to more careful analysis of the image. I have no problem with shadows that are black and the highest highlights fading to white. This is reality. Your eyes cannot see the range of tones in the highlights or shadows without the eyes adapting to the brightness or darkness when you look at the same kind of scene. Should you 'insist' that the camera/post processing of the image somehow be better than reality?????
