Tear it apart

I am going to go through some of my own art until someone suggests I critique someone elses work.

There is an artist whose work is hanging in the nbc galleries right now. Out of perhaps 30 paintings, maybe 3 of them are little gems. The rest either have no story to tell the viewer, are rushed and undefined are poorly planned, or are plain boring. Even so the prices she puts on them are huge except of course for the three little gems which she still has priced on the unbelievable side. I wish I could give you an example. Unfortunately I can't. So we'll move on from here.

What makes a painting or photograph sing? Lets look at two examples of the same graveyard in Boston. Why does one of these pictures work and the other not as much?
 This is subtle but what's the difference and if you could only chose one which one would it be?

    The bottom one is far more interesting to me because of it's different angles and headstone sizes. Basically the composition is much better in the bottom one.

    The one on the bottom because of the stone right in front. . . however my eyes are drawn to the little stone in the front row of the top one. . . but if I had to choose it would be the pic on the bottom. (calicokitty)
