IMHO 'greatness' is sufficiently subjective that a universal definition is very elusive at best. Is 'Moonrise' great? Is a photo of the PM sliding down a bannister great? Is a photo of a naked girl running from a napalm attack great? Is McCurry's photo of an afghan girl great? If I had to choose between these and my family snapshots I know what choice I'd make. > What is limiting? Is it our cameras, or is it our brains and eyes?
