The ability to connect with your subjects. People get so caught up in lighting and equipment and location and posing - all of those things are important of course - but an image where a model/subject looks cold, stiff, and blank is kind of uninspiring IMO.
Yet another dovetail.
What folks miss, especially those just starting out in photography, is that you've got to have the technical aspects down cold before the subject steps in front of the camera. You need to be concentrating on the subject, not the hardware you're using. Adjustments of lights, changing lenses, etc. should be done quickly and with authority. Unless a session is expressly for learning, you shouldn't be delving into the unknown.
However, there are times photographers step into unknown situations. The really good photographers can quickly assess the situation and come up with a solution.
