One thing new that I learned was that the photo should have the ability to talk to people. Meaning that the photo should have something in common with the photographer about something going on. Or even to the people who see the picture(s).Also you should catch the energy of the subject. Every type of photography has it’s own quality. Like for travel photography you have to catch the sense of awe.

Best Photo

This isn't my best photo but the properties of the photo are really good. Like how the center of attention is the building. And also how the background of the photo is the sky. The photo also shows the side of the building and it portrays different sizes and shapes on the building. In this picture there is also unique contrast of the building and the sky. There are only two colors but there are different shades so it looks good.
