What should a photo do?

Looking through the post here, as well as other sites, I'm trying to find a common denominator to ones (pictures) that grab and hold your attention. A few things I've found thus far, subjects that engage your senses....like a seascape, where you feel you can smell the salt in the air, and feel its breeze......upon your face. Where you hear the giggle of an infant, and the smell of its powered skin...looking through an evergreen forest, smelling the damp earth and being at awe of the towering majestic mountains, who watch over these domain. An abstract that piques my senses, trying to put reason to my vision, etc...

What do you find about a frame that draws you in?

Getting Sappy there!!! lol

For me I like photos that tells a story, Very high detail, Ones that shows the subject in its\their environment (The ones that everyone comments and says its too busy),

Ah....no doubt you get 4 scoops, each a different flavor too!

I do love your input and reasoning tho :)
