Dario Endara. “The most important element of a good photo is the ability of the photograph to communicate with the viewer. It should be able to tell a story through its composition, lighting, and most importantly its subject matter.”Jul 8, 2013

Four characteristics of a good photo:

• 1) Good composition. The Rule of Thirds is not a “rule,” but it’s a guideline that will improve nearly every photograph. …
• 2) Good light. Good light is not too dark. …
• 3) No clutter or distractions. …
• 4) Subtle processing.
