I did, and I still don?t like them. The technique obscures the subject,
which should not happen with this type of work. This type of gimmicky
photoshopping is a crutch used by mediocre photographers to hide the fact
that they have nothing to say with their work. Gerry is too good a
photographer to need any kind of crutch, and these photos would be great
if rendered more realistically.
