Take photos, identify what you like about an image and what you don't like. Try to replicate the things you like and avoid the things you don't like. As you do this more, more of it will become subscious and you will pick up on different likes/dislikes, rinse and repeat.
I do not understand why people are so convinced they need to be told what a good photo is. It's literally like asking "how do I decide my favorite color? What books should I read? Who are famous people who's favorite color I can copy?" It's a fucking photo not math, there are no wrong answers
