The objective of a good photograph is to get the viewer to feel what the photographer felt. To evoke an emotion, to raise a question, or just to stimulate the viewers senses. A good photographer draws on their own personal inner spark to create better images.

A good photographer has a yearning to create a particular look or feel in their images. When creating an image the photographer will pay attention to how they are shooting as well as to what they are shooting. The composition along with the style and technique will reveal what the photographer wants to capture.

Over the years I have heard literally hundreds of people refer to "The Photographers Eye" reffering to a photographers ability to see and create unique images. I do agree that the photographers individual vision is very relevant to the the images that they take, but there are other things that work along with that.

I think of even more importance to the photographers ability to create images with a unique perspective and style is their heart. The photographers personal feelings, their loves, like and dislikes are going to influence their decisions of what to shoot and what not to shoot more so then their 'eye' is going to. While their eye will be doing the looking and focusing, it will be their heart guiding where it looks and how it perceives the reality it is taking in.
