So, don't think a good photogarphy requires any such thing as "natural or born with talent" ;-)
EDIT: Or at least not only... For some people things are still easier to figure out, and some may have to repeat a lot to get it. And then there are of course physical limitations that may do things almost impossible. One can not see what one shoots if being blind. Although, there are ways to cope ;-)

Somewhat a Nokia phone advertisement but Gary Waite is a good example of someone who started photography only years after he became blind.
Brains can be rewired.. but the rewiring does not make a guarantee of making the circuit complete !
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Pam J clubI once knew a guy who had a perfect pitch. He was able to play guitar well, but the too perfect hearing was a curse for him. He had to stop playing guitar almost every 5 minutes because the strings lost the pitch while played.
Science often tries to go extremes when trying to explain behavior of living things. At one point almost all was seen genetic. And then came a "fashion" to explain everything as learned behavior. Presumably it is more like 50/50. Half can be explained with genetics and physiology, and the other half with repetition and learning.
I am reminded of golfer Gary Player's oft-used quote: 'The more I practice, the luckier I get!'
