Try to vocalise exactly what the story is. If you can’t instantly come up with something more significant about the scene than ‘it’s pretty’, then it probably won’t be a great shot. If, on the other hand, you can say something like ‘it’s a small, lonely figure exploring a wild, untouched landscape’ or ‘it’s an exhaust ed trekker expressing his joy at reaching camp aft er a long day out’, then you are on to something. This is an exercise I have found invaluable whenever I am considering taking a shot or making my select ion during the editing process.
