I think that seeing the different photographic styles and also locations makes the images more interesting.

I dont think that we need to be competitive over it as parameters are different.
Jeff has said how he uses seed and maggots to tempt the birds in.  I know people who get really sniffy about that as it is unnatural.  That said it is actually part of fieldcraft.
Then there is the 'no Photoshop' brigade.  

We need to embrace the fact that there are great cameras, lenses, tools, techniques, but knowledge and fieldcraft are very valuable.
My bird expert friend who goes all over the world and he gets amazing photos that are totally natural but they are not as good/sharp as those from Graham, Iain, Eric or Jeff.
