Quite a number of LUG image posters also sell prints and license the printing of their images. Technical quality remains an important goal for any serious photographer; right along with aesthetic, conceptual and emotional quality, pleasing self, clients and others. Attempting to prioritize these "qualities" and/or "visual elements" makes very little sense. Working a scene, a set, a subject requires an organic and fluid interaction; and all these elements and qualities are being weighed, compromised and decided upon as necessary and possible.
