[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 9350, member: 1573"] I'm not sure I follow the logic here, unless there's a different definition of "banal" ("devoid of freshness or originality; hackneyed; trite") Both examples you posted are merit worthy photos and completely different as you state, and each has a place --[B]different vision, different style[/B]. You might as well ask whose artistic treatment of the human body is more "pleasing", Michelangelo or Picasso. We have had very spirited discussions on this forum about art and photography and you might want to check some past threads on this. Art evokes different emotions in different viewers. . . . and I posit that you would have as many "pleasing responses" for one as the other [I]if everyone responded[/I] (like I said, we've been down that road before) . . . because that's the nature of art.
