IMHO, next to lighting is composition. But don't forget knowing your equipment and its capabilities and limitations. They will vary all over the map. Depth of field control will make a huge impact but if your lens is too slow, it won't be there. I use a point and shoot that does great near macro shots, not by moving back and zooming in but by going wide and close. Took me awhile to realize what was going on. Short depth of field is near impossible for mine. Still learning how to use it.
The cool part about digital is you can assess the picture right away and do it again.
