The statement regarding what makes a great photo I most agreed with is Chris Jordan’s statement:
“To me a great photograph is one that works on several different levels, offering something new again and again, like a good piece of music. Visually it has a particular kind of intricacy or vividness, or an extraordinarily complex and beautiful tonal scale. Intellectually and emotionally it conveys an unexpectedly rich perspective that expands my consciousness one way or another; a viewpoint that moves me every time I see the image, even after many viewings.”
Personally, I’ve always enjoyed Ansel Adams’ photographs. His images are always quite vivid and complex. I think this statement can be applied quite well to Ansel Adams’ work.
