contrast seems to be the key to good photography.
if i look at all the winners, contrast is high on the list,
also sharpness.
any other tips? |

| Originality is really a plus for me. There are a lot of shots that don't stand out because the topic, concept or technique has been done so many times before. |

Light.
More specifically good light.
That's what really shows the difference between good and bad pictures.

| this comes up quite a bit, and though I might understand the essence or basis of a generalized comment like this, it seems to me that "originality" is subjective and depends on life experience. |

| I think depth is also important... but this also ties in with what Gordon said "light"... good depth is sometimes a factor of how light is used. |

You are right there, light is the main and most important factor. But contrast is very important in the processing stage. I always pump up the contrast for photos I post online. Every photo! |

Absolutely agree on contrast. Having just finished wading thru the "orange" challenge, there were so many that could have used a contrast boost to great effect, as well as a bit of sharpening applied after resizing. Of course there were others where saturation was so high as to blow out the red channel over much of the image.
