Separate the men from the boys, the women from the girls.
I'm of the opinion that you've either got it or you don't. That applies to any art form. With enough knowledge and practice, almost anyone can get consistently "good" at something like photography, ceramics, printmaking, etc. That would be a great standard if art were vocational. What separates a good photographer from a great photographer isn't' film, or equipment, or even procedural knowledge per se. It's truly having an eye for photography, maybe even some uncanny sixth sense if you will.
So have you got it? Or do you disagree?
