Jack,

It also takes a skilled person behind the lens to achieve that result.  Conditioning the excel quality of those images to equipment and photo edition is a bit naïve, IMHO.  And it's not just the location - it's scouting for the best time of the day/year, the right weather condition, hiking before sunrise or after sunset to be at the right place at the right time.  Apart from a few exceptions, it's not about luck.
