There is a lot of variability in photography and there aren’t hard rules for deciding what makes a “good” photo. A good photo comes more from selecting a subject, in a particular environment, etc.

This is all possible now. I don’t think it’s dead (yet), but it’s certainly becoming more weird and artificial.
