"Once we have mastered the Zone System, or BTZS, and have refined our technique and process to achieve that perfect negative, we still need to constantly remind ourselves that a perfectly exposed and processed picture of a turd, is still the picture of a turd." Max Marinucci, 2011

Yes, but if the turd is artfully arranged, interestingly lit, and has nice texture - say some organically grown corn, for instance - it will be a good picture of a turd.
