I would agree with the last post by postcardcv - we can all take bad photo's anywhere. But I always ask what am I taking the picture for? Usually it's for me - if I like it - as I say in my signature that's great - if others like it that's the bonus. In the UK we do not have vast snowcapped ranges, wild elephants, exotic birds and plants, or rain forests. Our clothing is often fairly colourless, we don't have a lot of sun and light is an essential of any good photo.
So we often see photo's that are "good", grab the attention, because they are very different from our own environment. A tranquil meadow scene with a sparkling stream and green lush fields, and fat livestock, will look very good to someone who lives in a parched landscape where it hasn't rained for two or three years ... think of areas in Australia. Photographically ie technically the shots may be poor but the impact may be great. So for me, if YOU like it - it's a good shot.
