Nothing artistic about it as it's the same flat ,non-technical, on camera image that any PHD camera (push here dummy) can create.

innermostphoto wrote:Perhaps a little when it is technically just not a good photo. Heck look at my photo. I have said it many times that the BOS photo is not that great. A good photo perhaps but definitely not BOS. Don't know what they were thinking. That salamander photo is flat and nothing to it. Anyone with a camera could get that who took the time to do it. Don't know what they were thinking there either. It does however, irk me that good quality photos do not make BOS or not necessarily "make the grade" as it were. Those images by Phil Lucas are superb and you can tell they are done with technical lighting and artistic merit rather than incorrect, flat, improperly composed, cluttered, and non technical images. The cricket BOS last year is in the came category.

I agree. However, comparing photography to painting is like comparing Madden on your Playstation to NFL football.

My reference was to the skills required to be proficient at each. No offense to photographers, I am genuinely jealous of your skills.
I assume you aren't a fan of impressionism
