I'm going to have to disagree here.  I'd much rather see a bad print 
of Robert Capa's D-Day images than a perfect print of rocks and 
ferns.  A bad print can always be reprinted, sometimes with better 
technique or advanced technology, if it's a photo worth 
reprinting.  If there is nothing there to begin with (admitting 
that's very subjective) a good or great print is still not interesting to me.
