I find judging very difficult, but for me image quality doesn't rank very high in importance. So long as the focus and exposure are in the right ballpark (and even the cameras in mobile phones can often do OK there) things like framing and composition are what matters, while a lot of obvious mucking about in Photoshop detracts from the pic.
If I get the impression that the photographer actually took the shot for the purpose of the competition then that helps, as does one with a sense of humour... so Evesdad's recent lawnmower pic scored pretty high with me too.
