A good photograph should express the photographers intention, by making it easy to guess why they took the photo.

A photograph might show something, or there might be a story behind it and this can communicate something that words cannot.

I think a good photograph is best shown alone, because it stands out more and the viewer can actually have a good look at it and understand why the photographer captured the photo. And if a photograph is shown as a collection with many others, the viewers don't really focus on it.
6.Do you think that a good photograph can demand a response from the viewers, for example do you think that it should make the viewers say or think something?
Yes i think a good photograph can demand a response from its viewers. As you would want them to have an opinion on your photograph, and you would want them to ask questions about the photograph. For example the photo on the left makes me want to ask "what made them want to capture this photo and why."
