How to critique a photo? What is a good photo?

I know I can google this, but I wanted to hear from the people as well. If someone shows you an album and asks your opinion, what would you look for?

My take: I know it is subjective to a degree. I know principles in composition are important But I am not sure I could be part of a discussion on the topic and it would be cool to!

Thanks

Don’t think I’m there yet but I would love to cultivate this type of awareness of the anatomy of a picture. Thanks for sharing.
