Technical excellence is the print quality of the image itself as it is presented for viewing. Retouching, manipulation, sharpness, exposure, printing, mounting, and correct color are some items that speak to the qualities of the physical print.
So, the third on their list is "technical excellence." Yes, it sounds particularly important, but I am not sure how this came in third before lighting and composition, which sound pretty important themselves.
Not only for this particular description, but ever since from the top of the list, the quality of writing is just horrid. "Technical excellence is the print quality of the image itself as it is presented for viewing. WTF??? Are any print ever not presented for viewing?
The rest of the paragraph stinks volume how clueless they really are. It is interesting that if you read down the list to number 11, it is called "technique." Reading that paragraph, I cannot tell the difference between technical excellence and technique. Here it is. You decide.
Technique is the approach used to create the image. Printing, lighting, posing, capture, presentation media, and more are part of the technique applied to an image.
Please.
You can have zero technical excellence and still be very very convincing. Have you ever seen photographers taken by children?? They are very penetrating.
Here, I have a photo with all the proper technique and presentation and all that, and it still sucks pretty bad. Dime a dozen. Photos like these are everywhere.
