Hi George,
There maybe a discrepancy in the wording: >>photographers and
non-photographers can correctly identify  the "better photos" <<<<<<

I wondered if you meant >>> " crisper, sharper, contrasty etc etc" as all
being positive adjectives in complimenting the image, as opposed to:
 >>the "better photos"<<< which implies a better photo as in content.

Am I correct in this assumption?
