maybe we should worry more about "charm" than other aspects such as rez and mp......

Look here, this is a forum primarily dedicated to gear and its use.   Because gear is the constant among us.   That is, a Canon 5D3 is a Canon 5D3, and its resolution, ISO noise and sharpness of the attached lens does not change whether behind the camera is some highly celebrated genius artist or a gorilla.  Technical aspect of photography is an easy common ground for discussion.

However, artistic side of photography is a highly individual subject.   What moves one person will be ignored by another.   Everyone got their own style.  There is no universal rule on how to capture an artistic image.

And that is why someone goes 'what about the (charm, soul, inspiration) of the photo, it really irritates me.   Just because people here mainly discuss the technical aspect, it does not mean that artistic aspect is left by the wayside.    It is just that technical is common and is easily discussed.    Artistic is individual.
