A great image is one that invokes a strong emotional response in the viewer. The emotion can be sorrow, happiness, even anger, but the viewer must be affected. Lighting might make a great photograph technically, but a well lit, boring image is not a great photograph. A potentially great photograph might be ruined by poor lighting, but good lighting alone will not make a great photograph.
Great photography is produced by the vision of the photographer. The ability to see the story in a scene and understand what angle to shoot from makes a big difference.
