[QUOTE="Greywoulf, post: 2612, member: 636"] I suspect we're talking about different kids of photography here..? Snapshots? -I'm sorry, but I think you're being rude and insulting with that kind of remark, yes? I'm talking about wonderful photos that grab you, that tell a strong story to you, not pretty prints someone wants to buy for advertising or to decorate a wall with. I'm not a fool, and so yes, I can see why these have to be very clear... But have you seen the great shot of that Pelican I'm talking about? To criticize that excellent photo for a tiny lower corner blur only discovered in a 250% magnification is ludicrous, and a bit mean spirited, IMO... Also do you look at the Magnum photo-journalism site? There are fantastic photos there that tell important stories, -and yes, some of them may have a bit of a soft focus now and then, or an off-looking exposure, and some of them may even have, gasp! -noise, occasionally..! But they are still nevertheless great photo art, and I doubt you'll find many nit picking "experts" daring to criticize them for perceived tiny 'technical imperfections'! Yes, quality is quality. Yes, snapshots are snapshots. But also yes, nit picking is still nit picking....! [/QUOTE]
