Everything else is simple. Good latte art is NOT an indicator of good espresso by the way. I'd much rather have crappy swirls on a good espresso than the other way around.

It's so deceptive, as that is really difficult to do even if you have a god-shot of espresso and perfectly foamed whole milk. So much is the in pour technique. My big issue is, even though I get micro-foam, it's always topped with a few big bubbles. Not only that, the pitcher I have has too minimal a spout so I don't get a proper stream.
