Picture analysis is one of the most important skills a photographer can build up. It helps understanding why pictures have a certain mood, message, impact etc. I've compiled a list of aspects that can be analyzed in a photo (or any other visual product).
http://www.voegtli.net/gallery/docs/ahbah/aspects_full_E.htmlTo me, this list is often a guideline for questions about a picture, especially if I find one that I don't like at all, or one that has a big impact (positive or negative) on me.
