A good photo isn't really about equipment.Obviously a $4000 camera or lens will hopefully take better shots than a 400 dollar one, but only in the hands of someone who knows how to utilize it. Photography is about the light, so the light can often make or break a photo. As far as composition goes, humans are hardwired to see certain visual stimuli as pleasing and others as not(check out the Gestalt Principles). I once had a professional photographer tell me that when people said they didn't like his pictures he would say, they just didn't get it. LOL! I like that line. Photography is art and we all know art is subjective. Personally I am still learning what make a great photo, and photography has a huge learning curve.:)

So many of the discussions in UHH revolve around Hardware. Also Canon vs, Nikon etc. etc.
My question to you is,
What do you think makes a great photograph.
I am sure your assessment will have nothing to do with Make of camera, lens, aperture or focal length
In the end the power of the image is what is meaningful to you.
So lets hear from Uhh members their take on What makes a great photo.
different strokes for different folks.
