Actually, I think it's a reasonable remark. You enjoy the technical skill of the photographer, but don't like the subject.

I'm not going to like a picture of a leaf on the sidewalk if I don't like leaves on sidewalks. sure the exposure might be spot on, but it's a leaf on a sidewalk and it doesn't appeal to me. Just as religious icons or whatever do nothing for me.
