 Hi All- with all the reading we do of the LUG and looking at submitted

IMHO, in declining order:

the moment engages the viewer
lighting and composition highlight the primary subject
background either enhances the primary subject's story or (not as good) 
stays out of the way
technical quality sufficient that the viewer does not struggle to see the 
details
