Every picture must be technically perfect, even if it doesn't say anything, or no one would bother taking a look at it.
Nonsense. If a shot is compelling, if the execution reinforces the mood, most people don't care about "technical perfection."Instead of going out and looking to capture intersting scenes with your camera, you go out with a Microspcope looking for scenes that happen to be under perfect conditions.
More nonsense. Knowing how to utilize the conditions to convey what you want is what makes for a successful photo--there aren't "perfect conditions" that make your photos good.Am I getting out of line here, because my technical skills are not up to par?
Frankly, yes. Instead of making up nonsense stories to rationalize why people aren't impressed by your shots, you should spend your energy improving your skills and trying to develop a better understanding of how to make your shots work.
