So you agree that the perception of the photograph is important. Good. Now can you understand that how you perceive the picture ('Hey, that's nice composition.') is different from how many people will perceive the picture ('Hey, why is he threating the poor guy with the kid? Good God, no wonder these people hate us!').
In any event I think this post is stale now, and I don't think we'll change each other's minds (although you did acknowledge the importance of perception).
