Here's what I think it takes to get a great photo:
20% - An amazing subject
20% - Photographer's talent and technical expertise
15% - Being in the right place at the right time with a camera (i.e. keep it handy as often as possible)
15% - The right lighting
10% - Framing/composition
10% - Taking several shots of the subject and picking the best
5% - Judicious image editing
5% - A nice, expensive camera (although yes, a better camera will take better photos, all other things being equal)
This means amateurs like you and me have 75% of what it takes to get a great shot! Get out there and take some pictures, folks!
