The difference between a hobbyist and a professional is that a hobbyist practices until they get it right. A professional practices until they can't get it wrong. For some reason that advice seems to make sense for athletics, but in creative endeavors we often assume that all we need is the initial effort. This shows up particularly, I think, in travel photography. It's easy to assume that once we've visited a location and photographed it we don't need to go back and do it again. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ansel Adams wasn't lucky photographing Yosemite; he was persistent.
