Most of my replies to postings of photos have been in a different vein 
than a criticism of composition, or exposure. I feel those things are 
pretty straight forward. Not easy to do always! But generally 
recognizable.

What I do usually comment on is more in line with Steve's remarks above, 
the emotional content of the picture. Does it evoke a feeling? Raise a 
question? Provoke me to supply an answer to the question?

These subjective things are important to a successful photo as much as 
the somewhat more objective mechanical things.
Put it all together and you have something!
