No question. I agree 100% that it is the taker, not the equipment. It parallels golf!! :-). You can buy equipment all day long and not improve your game. Trust me I know!! haha... However, the equipment gives the clarity, depth of field, etc. etc. and some of those pics were really excellent. The photographer does set the mood, capture the image, artistically puts all the components together to make a good pic, etc. Your brother or you or whoever took the shots does an excellent job!! My hat is off!!

No question about that
