No "issue" at all Philippe.
I'm not calling into question your comments.

Simply adding my reaction to the "photograph"
to me the photographer appears to want the "photograph"
to look like a painting - with faux brush strokes, etc.
It is my reaction to the "photograph" that I'm looking to discuss;
not yours.
