I think there is an awful lot of 'Emperor's new clothes' about art & photography. It sometimes feels that people should stand in awe at some work just because of the subject matter or the person who took it. This is particularly true of modern British art but also lots of photography.
People sometimes don't have the balls to say, actually, it is a pretty rubbish/average photo. Take the winning shot of the wife with her legs open in whatever comp it was discussed on here a few months back.
