Many years ago, a man opened an art exhibit of paintings. The art critics praised these paintings as being masterpieces. Then the man revealed a secret, they were all painted by a monkey.

In music there are thousands of people that can play the notes, but they just cannot play the music.
The same is true in photography.
Art may be in the eye of the beholder, but you also have to consider the source.
