Much more interesting photo in original form.

Remember Mies..."Less is more." That holds true for photo
post-processing, too.

However, photography is an art form and as such, modernism produced
Pablo Picasso who over his career veered from Symbolist imagery to
Surrealism - all and any of which were never boring, sterile or
monotone in concept or execution and still called "modernist".

Let's see your stuff - put it out there.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Some pictures look very nice
natural. Some look very nice photoshopped. Personally, I have a lot of fun
with PaintShop Pro. Here's a modified picture taken of
a horse paddock that I modified in PSP to look like an oil painting. Both
the original photo and the "painting" look fine to me.

It not a "fuss" per se.

More like put up or shut up.

It's all well and good to talk about not improving nature and
non-photoshopping, but the simple fact is that almost all photographs
are manipulated in some way and for a person who in theory takes a lot
of photographs for publications and such and relys on his ability to
take a "natural" photograph, I'd like to see the results of this
technique.

That's all - no fuss. If he wants to take me up on my offer, fine. If
not, well not my problem.
