[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 3817, member: 920"] Unfortunately, I think the very people who should be supporting professional photographers are the very ones who are helping destroy the craft. The typical, NON-photographer really can't tell what makes a quality image. They are easily swayed by emotion, by the energy created by the person giving the picture to them. Details that are important to photographers (eyes open, facial expression, lighting/exposure/shadows, and other technical details) are not necessarily noticed by the average consumer. I'm not here to say that John Q. Camera can't focus on these details and get them correct - especially with all the technology assistance that is being packed into today's cameras. [/QUOTE]
