Someone once told me that the sign of a good writer was the ability to make something mundane sound interesting. I think the same goes for photography -- it's the ability to see ordinary things in an extraordinary way, coupled with the ability to capture that view in your lens.

That's what I like about this photo of a birch tree by Roberta Attalla. When was the last time you looked at a birch tree up close? My favourite aspect of this photo is the spectacular depth of field.
