An example of good taste but poor skill in execution.

I always wanted to be a music producer, I have a million ideas I love, but I found the study and act of music production tedious and frustrating.

However, after my studies, I was a wedding DJ. My taste in music rocked many a party (you haven't lived until you've seen grandma twerk) despite my inability to translate my cool ideas into cool music.

I have awesome taste, but poor ability to create. This reflects in other things I have a well developed taste for, but a poor ability to create, like photography.

Another interesting aspect is how skill can inform taste. As I studied music production and learned the nuances, I appreciated music on a far deeper level. Same with photography.
