A fairly subjective (and perhaps controversial) question: What makes a good photograph? For me, it is its ability to evoke a feeling, a thought, an emotion. I find that certain photographs have an energy that is contagious. Detail shots are often overlooked; I see far fewer detail shots submitted than I do other photographs. Yet, a detail shot can be so expressive and so captivating.

This photograph from @ardenphoto is a detail shot I absolutely love; the position of the hands, the henna, the intricate fabric, tell a story. The lighting, the sharp foreground, the out of focus background create a mood.

What story do you see in this photograph?

Happy Friday.
