I have another question. Why does the ownership of a camera make people think the discussion of quite meaningless topics and questions, which allow for those so inclined to expel hot air, will provide anything of interest to those with more than one brain cell in working order?
My question is why do you and others let it bother you? Let people take pictures the way they wish.

It does not bother me at all hun. But if someone sets themselves up and declares to the world they are a dumb arsewipe then it feel it is only right we answer their plea for abuse. I look upon it as an act of charity almost.

Somewhat. I was thinking more of when a poorly executed image would be acceptable. My thought was: if it doesn't exist as a "one of a kind" photo, then why not just retake the shot? I suppose there might be other exceptions, I just can't think of one.
However, I've kept a few: one example being an adult hummingbird feeding its young. It's the only one I have, so I kept it--but I don't really find it "post worthy".

I have several of those myself.

I believe that the most time you stick to the rules you get the best pictures. Here are a few tips to remember to take the best.
The Twelve elements listed below are in accordance to their importance.
1. IMPACT
2. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE
3. CREATIVITY
4. STYLE
5. COMPOSITION
6. PRESENTATION
7. COLOR BALANCE
8. CENTER OF INTEREST
9. LIGHTING
10. SUBJECT MATTER
11. TECHNIQUE
12. STORY TELLING
Impact is the sense one gets upon viewing an image for the first time. Compelling images evoke laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. There can be impact in any of these twelve elements.
Technical excellence is the print quality of the image itself as it is presented for viewing. Retouching, manipulation, sharpness, exposure, printing, mounting, and correct color are some items that speak to the qualities of the physical print.
Creativity is the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker by using the medium to convey an idea, message or thought.
Style is defined in a number of ways as it applies to a creative image. It might be defined by a specific genre or simply be recognizable as the characteristics of how a specific artist applies light to a subject. It can impact an image in a positive manner when the subject matter and the style are appropriate for each other, or it can have a negative effect when they are at odds.
Composition is important to the design of an image, bringing all of the visual elements together in concert to express the purpose of the image. Proper composition holds the viewer in the image and prompts the viewer to look where the creator intends. Effective composition can be pleasing or disturbing, depending on the intent of the image maker.
Presentation affects an image by giving it a finished look. The mats and borders used, either physical or digital, should support and enhance the image, not distract from it.
Color Balance supplies harmony to an image. An image in which the tones work together, effectively supporting the image, can enhance its emotional appeal. Color balance is not always harmonious and can be used to evoke diverse feelings for effect.
Center of Interest is the point or points on the image where the maker wants the viewer to stop as they view the image. There can be primary and secondary centers of interest. Occasionally there will be no specific center of interest, when the entire scene collectively serves as the center of interest.
Lighting—the use and control of light—refers to how dimension, shape and roundness are defined in an image.
Whether the light applied to an image is man made or natural, proper use of it should enhance an image.
Subject Matter should always be appropriate to the story being told in an image.
Technique is the approach used to create the image. Printing, lighting, posing, capture, presentation media, and more are part of the technique applied to an image.
Story Telling refers to the image’s ability to evoke imagination. One beautiful thing about art is that each viewer might collect his own message or read her own story in an image.

A good technician that can follow all this bull....sure they will get nice shots, but they will look like everyone else's photos too. If you want to be creative and an artist, you have to step out and away from all that. Sure, the concepts are there working but they are only a suggested guideline in the back of your mind as you are composing YOUR shot; the one that is unique and stands out for itself.

Photography has rules. Rules like don't always put the subject in center of the frame.
What we need to understand is that these rules are like any other rules of any system. Some can be bent. Others can be broken.
Knowing when and how to break the rules makes you a good photographer.
Now hit me. If you can.

There are no rules in photography, just guidelines.
