Reminds me of a definition in Ambrose Bierce's book, "The Devil's Dictionary": CONSULT, v.t., To seek another's approval of a course already decided on. In all fairness, though, she said, "Pleses help. This is very urgent, only a few hours! Who is, in your opinion the best Vue artist?" She didn't say postwork mattered. Nor did she say our input would be weighed or considered. She was getting ideas, I guess, perhaps just to see if she was overlooking what she felt was already the best choice. In fact, she THANKED us for our ideas. She WAS wrong about her statement, "who NEVER does any postwork on his Vue images", though, as a look at his gallery will show. Again, in honesty, it is minimal. But, when postwork is allowed, where does one draw the line? THIS is too much, but THAT isn't. I spent a lot of time in his gallery. Wondering just how he did this or that. Routine scenes were turned into art. Yes, he is very good! I should be so lucky to be as gifted. But the decision seems a bit "tainted". I think it will cause people to not participate as much in future opinions. Finally, I hope it doesn't taint pmermino's chances for the title, though.
