    I absolutely disagree that this is "talent" This is a "skill" that perhaps
    results from a visual spacial genetic ability. I have plenty of students who
    can do the below and do not seem to have an original thought. Many of those
    students also find color and interesting composition difficult or impossible
    but hey, they can draw that chair so it looks just like a chair. Who cares?
    Is that "art" is that "talent"? Then a camera has "talent"!
