What do I look in a photograph for printing?

Three Basics

When selecting photography for print, look for sharpness (including depth of field), color and range of tone. A high-contrast photograph will give you more room for error and to play than a photo that is low in contrast. In definition of contrast, you are looking for a good highlight, deep shadows and plenty of mid-range tones.
