What Makes a Perfect Shot?

This is a question that is very difficult to pin point. Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to great photos. To break it down into simple terms, I would say it would be the combination of an interesting subject with perfect lighting.  Award winning shots are those chosen by the judges to be the best among all submitted. This just means that a group of individuals chose them over other entries. You may find that some of the award winning shots you come across may not have any impact for you and this is fine. Photography is like any other art form and there will be a group that likes and a group that dislikes an image.

Basically as its been said for a long time. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. This is the same for photography too. If you like the shot then that should be all that matters. If you are to take shots to satisfy someone else then it gets more difficult since you need to understand their taste in photography and art in general. 

So what makes a perfect shot? A good subject, good lighting, good composition and a little luck.

Take as many pictures as possible and one may turn out to be the “Perfect Shot”.
