Address the technical components

Assess the artistic elements of the photo

Explain what you like about the photograph, and why

Elaborate on elements of the photograph that could be improved upon

Summarize your general perception of the photograph

Looking at the picture…

Question: Do you overexpose the image? Does the picture have too much light, or is there stuff in the photo that takes away from the focus?

Exposure..

Over exposing examples..These have too much light, makes what is supposed to be good, a bad picture..

You do not want your picture to have so much light that your picture turns out washed out, and the subject is boring.

Why that is bad…

Is the picture sharp and clear or is blurry, or did you over expose the picture?

Focus..

Bad examples of focus

Do all the elements of the frame support the subject, or are there distractions that take away from the strength of the image?
