What Makes A Great Picture?

Hi Everyone, I have a question....what makes a great picture?  What does that mean to you?  Many photographers show their work via various photography groups and social media, including myself.  We all hope that we'll get many likes, positive feedback and anything else that may stroke our egos about our work. Any person that says otherwise is not being truthful.  Who wouldn't want everyone to love their work?  The reality is we may get a few likes on some photos, some not at all, and others hailed as Photo of the Year.  Up and coming photographers are often discouraged when they are not overnight successes.  As with anything, success requires much effort, time and patience.  Don't be discouraged, continued shooting.  Shoot everyday, often, and only what intrigues you and how you want to shoot it. So what if your picture doesn't look like the next photographer's work....is it supposed to?  I certainly hope not.  Your pictures are yours.  They are your vision and so
