In all fairness - i wouldn't call that a good photograph really..it is a funny pic though.
But really if Luck was such a huge factor then the best(most acclaimed and/or) photographs would not be taken by professional photographers/artists.

because ...... they know how to exploit that luck.
there have been a ton of amazing photographs (subject wise) by amateurs .. but because they didnt know how to compose their photos, or their equipment couldnt get them close enough - or the settings werent right because they didnt have the technical know-how, or they just had no avenue to get them published - get exposure. or they're simply not interested in sharing.
pros are prepared. the do research - know where to look and what to look for ..
but for the thing to happen (the weather is right, the bird or whatever appears. appears, the person makes the perfect facial expression to convey the mood of the photograph as beautifully as possible) ... that is the luck factor.
