You forgot:
6. Lots of naked women shots

Seriously ,I have reservations about #1. It's good to have a few shots with
extremes in depth, but depth can get just as repetitive and boring as
family vacation slides. I have some favorites with very few depth clues.
It's like a simple scene in color where almost everything is in shades of
grey, but one single subject that has a subtile hint of color catches the
eye and makes the composition complete. Depth can be subtile as well,
especially when you use reality versus novelty as a criteria.
