Gurushots: Would I Print That?

When I am voting on Gurushots, the first thing is always whether of not the picture is compliant with the topic details. If not, then I continue scrolling.

The next question I ask is “Would I print it?”

If the answer is no, then I continue scrolling to the next picture to consider.

If the answer is yes, then I give the photograph some more time and check things like focus, framing/cropping, and other post-processing.

The point here is that if I don’t consider the picture worthy of printing, then it is not going to get my vote.
