My observation about professionals (in any profession, not just a = photography) is: they do posses excellent set of skills, and they = simultaneously recognize that there are other professionals in this same = field who posselearningss some skills they don=E2=80=99t. Doesn=E2=80=99t = mean someone is better or worse. Anybody declaring in one way or another = he/she is the one with correct/best professional skills immediately sets = the flag for me as quite likely not actually being an expert. That is akin well known stages of learning: 1. I don=E2=80=99t know anything 2. I know something 3. I know everything 4. I know quite a lot but not everything 5. I know a lot, and I know what I know and what I don=E2=80=99t know The last (5) is equivalent of an expert (I am just replacing the word = =E2=80=9Cprofessional=E2=80=9D by what it implies), whereas (3) though = quite likely to declare being an expert, most likely is not. Those are my humble observations. Of a person never considering oneself = an expert, though often knowing what I know and what I don=E2=80=99t. Valeri > 1.
