Hi Nathan,
Absolutely! It's the "talented photographer" seeing and executing the click 
at precicely the right moment! Lluis would make a lens made out of a Coke 
bottle capture magical moments.

By the same token, a guy supposedly the King of the LEICA world with an  S2 
or M9 wouldn't see a wet brick nor a naked woman riding through Central Park 
if she went past him 10 feet away.

Lluis? Give him any old camera and lens and he'd have the cover of Vogue 
under the same or worse conditions. :-)

You go Lluis! :-)

cheers,
ted
