    Re: What Makes a Great Photo?

    Something like over 90% of Pulitzer Prize photographs were pure luck.

    1) accidental shutter releases

    2) inadvertent presence on the scene of 'an event'

    3) accidental change in F-stop settings

    4) the dog stepped on the camera at the perfect moment

    What makes a photo great? The captured image, regardless of how it got there.
