What makes a good Screenshot?

What's it all about?

I know what i like in a Screenshot. I like when someone puts it all together. I like the WB, the Dock, The WP, The Icons and Widgets (or whatever these objects, gadgets blahh blahh are now called) to relate to the Blind and various components in a creative way. What was the original artist of the WB thinking? Sometimes the screenshot will show something about the Blind that the creator of the Blind didn't see or think about. Sometimes a Screenshot is boring and just fills the Screen with calendars and widgets and icons for the sake of filling the Screen. I think it's first about the WB and then how all the other things fit in. What makes a good Screen Shot?

I view a screenshot as to how it all revolves around the WP. The wallpaper is the central focus point and I see everything else acting in concert to create a larger theme. I enjoy screenshots where it is obvious that the creator took some time and thought to arrange his/her final view. What also makes it worthwhile is when you see some new skin, or maybe an older one that you tend to use in a certain way, and realize that it is far more involved than you originally perceived. A good screenshot tells a story and invites you, the viewer, to enter into another world.
