You can have every other 'word' but without the box to catch the image, there is no 'photograph'....

a good frame! Well, not that I really believe so,
but in certain circles - no matter how poor the photo is if is mounted in a nice frame with a well known name - then that makes it an excellent one.

Hmmm....

I would say.....eyes.....

Without your eyes, you would not see the shot, the story it tells, the impact it could have, the beauty (or despair) it may show. Without your eye you would not be able to correct the shot. If you have taken a photo, no one without sight can enjoy it. Finally if the shot is of a person, the eyes are what makes most shots. They are indeed the window to the soul.
