Was just going to, then I noticed the comment.
Sometimes we just like some photos more, then what they are worth. Like you said it's out of focus, and over exposed. And if I there to look for any "good" photography things in the background, composition or the subject, I can't spot anything great, it's just a regular decent photo.
Different people like different things and for some reason, which you can't even understand, you just like this one.

I guess that's why it's bugging so much... Technically speaking, it's nothing special. I'm still rather fresh in this whole photography thing, and I've been reading up about things like composition and such quite a bit. And there's not a lot of that here. A thought that did cross my mind is that with this particular photo it could very well be me liking the process more than the actual photo, and then subconsciously attributing that enjoyment to the actual photo. Does that even make sense? Ever happen to you?

Yes it does. So often I come home after a hyped photo shoot, just to look at most of the shots being just bad, sometimes I will still like them and post them, to receive little to no feedback, sometimes I'll just scrap them. Photos don't have to follow rules to be good, but if the photo is good you'll notice it in an instant.

Well, I do appreciate your feedback here. And apologies if I asked prematurely. I get excited sometimes :). I'm guessing this is the lesson here... There is no set in stone recipe for a "good" photograph, but there are plenty of bad ones. Being objective is a good thing to keep in mind when deciding what to spend time on and put out there for the world to see.
