What makes an image memorable?

My facination lies in understanding what draws us to an image?
Is it the asthetic; a desire for the emotion captured; the shock; the need to know how it was created or what the artist was thinking, doing or experiencing; there are so many aspects that make an image what is in its final form.

Why do some remain fixed in our visual memory? Why do we have a desire to look again?

Perhaps the image(s) link to our life's experience?
Or, perhaps we shouldn't think to much and just enjoy the visual imigary.

Here is a little something that humoured me today:
