I often indicate my appreciation for an image by use of the term; "I get it." IOW, I think I see what you were striving for and believe you were at least to a degree, successful. Extremely few images rise to the level of "compelling." i.e., powerful..irrisistable. An "interesting" image is one so complimented due to its being a product of unique creativity.
