good vs bad... the secret of photography

GOOD VERSUS EVIL...We find it in Star Wars, in The Lord of the Rings, in Inkheart, in fary tales, in myths and legends. In most of these great stories, the line between the two is thick and black, as if drawn by a Sharpie.
Unfortunately, this line isn't quite so defined in photography. What makes a photo good? This whole post is an attempt to try and compare two photos that I've taken (a few minutes ago, actually!) and see what makes a bad photo, or a good one.
Before I begin, let me make it very clear that I am by no means a professional photographer, nor have I had any training! Be easy on me!

GOOD:
It's got an interesting perspective, it's subject is interesting. It's lightsource isn't overbearing. One doesn't look at this image and think it's terrible. In short, this is a pretty decent photo.










BAD:
THIS SHOT IS TERRIBLE!!!
The subject it's supposed to represent (a broccoli bit) isn't in focus, yet my legs in the background are. Because you can't even see what the "main part" of the image is, the entire purpose is killed, leaving this as wasted memory card space.
