What makes a Good Image

What makes a good image? This is a question we are asked a lot as photographers. A good image is not simply a pictures of something cool. A good image is really pretty simple. A good image is of something you love. Something you really care about. You have to be able to show that love in the image. You also have to think about time for a good image. You can't just go out at any time and shoot and assume it will work out well. You need to think about what the time is and make it unique. You don't want your image to look like everyone else's image. That is another thing that makes a good image, a unique perspective. A good photographer can make a good image out of anything. The image itself is not what makes a good image. It is all about how the photographer shoots the image. The easiest way to do this is get close and pay careful attention to detail. Things like focus, white balance, light and distracting back grounds. We all have the ability to make a good image, we just have to add together everything that we have learned.
