In particular, the posted image "Bar Libreria La Central" is a good complex scene with details at the edge of the frame that tell an interesting story. The female on the left has need of leg support but is out in the world enjoying the sun and hopefully an entertaining beverage. The woman on the right is marching along, engaged on her phone with little contact with the outer world although possibly identifying the photographer. Fairly interesting story and impressive for a street image following the Ted Grant maxim of WOW click look at that. Additionally, I have been digging through a series of books from the Metropolitan Museum of Art from the late fifties on composition of paintings. Twelve volumes with color plates that you can put together to follow along with the author's commentary. In that maybe more sensible age the author allows that styles come and go, artists are lifted up and put back on the shelf, but the relevance of the art may endure if the subject is strong enough. El Greco is a prime example of an artist that was celebrated, berated, ignored, then celebrated again. To Sum up my point, not everyone likes everything, take some time to really look at a piece, try to understand what the artist intended, and last pay attention to why you are reacting to the piece.
