Questions you ask about an image

I am curious about the questions that people ask themselves when they view an image.  I dislike answering the mundane, the how and the where, because I find far too often people focus on these anciliary issues.  I also am curious as to why many people go to such lengths to avoid discussing images, insecurity, lack of awareness... The first thing I usually ask is how the image makes me feel and from there I move to why does it make me feel this way.  Then I consider how the elements in the image work together to create this feeling.  Then I wonder why the photographer made that image in that manner.  I look at how unified the image is and then for other thngs like tension and balance.  I look for punctums and studiums, and I also listen for any sounds the image evokes.  Heavily detailed images or often noisy with restaurant chatter, where some images are so still they are utterly silent as though framed in sound absorbing boards.  I figure that once and image is presented that the photographer feels it is finished and it isn't my place to comment on areas for improvement.
Critiquing an image cna be a powerful learning tool, and often I will look what I can fold into my own work and vision.  I think I will critique images here as a learning experience.
