Yay:
- good / unusual light
- subtle (or not) use of mixed flash & natural light (strobist kind of thing) for powerful emphasis
- dramatic skies, including PITCH F**KING BLACK and/or night landscapes
- IR
- photos that make you go "wtf"
- photos that convey an emotion (this is something I find *really* hard to do)
- strong use of colour (I'm a sucker for RVP50)
- good HDR, i.e. using it as a semi-automated dodge/burn tool
- eyes you can't take your eyes off
- urbex/decay
- close/wide perspective, unusual angles
- fisheye where it doesn't look fishy due to subject form (the close/wide thing again)
- thisisnthappiness (NSFW warning): there's a lot of good in there amongst the crap, hipsterism and helvetica & batman fetishes

Nay:
- most street photography (love the concept, don't like 99.9% of what I see)
- HDR as a substitute for the right light
- mundane, pointless or uncomposed photos
- obvious technical incompetence even if masquerading as arty
- bad cliche nudes: abstract/landscape, skinny girl in a corner, girl-in-the-woods
- sunsets
