I do not write about photos, other than perhaps noting specific settings, but like some other folks, I assume, carefully analyze color, composition and framing, to look for improvement. Also I look for symbology - how does it make a viewer "feel". Does the photo tell a story, urge a viewer to pause for a moment to figure it out. If a viewer spends a little time "drinking" it in, or puzzling over it, then I did a good job. For me, it's all about "story-telling". - Just my take.
