A Photo Subject's Relationship To The Frame

Many photos that are rejected/removed from the pool have subjects that are too close to the frame (ie - too close to the object that obscures the scene).

A good Glimpse draws our eyes beyond the frame and focuses our viewpoint on the scene. Photos with people or animals in doorways, or at windows, for example, attract our attention and interfere with our perception of the glimpse.

For some interior shots with people or pets: a range of 3ft (1m) from the frame may work. As long as the background is visible and in focus.

A Glimpse is more of a landscape or cityscape type of photograph than a portrait. People and animals can be subjects if photographed properly.
