When is a Poser image not a Poser image? When it's been postworked to death. The name of the Gallery section concerned is "Poser" not "Photoshop" or "Painter" or "Paintshop Pro" etc. so it's for Poser images first and foremost. I'm not disputing the artistic skills of the accomplished postworkers. If I could paint hair I'm sure I would, and some of the artists you've mentioned are favourites of mine, but the argument itself is baseless. If I create an image in Poser of, let's say, a naked V3 (surprise surprise ~lol~) and then paint on the hair...then paint a beautiful dress, and then of course add the shadows created by the hair and dress it becomes something other than a Poser image to my mind. In fact, what I've done is used Poser for precisely the purpose it was originally designed for. I'm not calling for postwork galleries as has been mentioned in the past, I think that would make the whole gallery system unmanageable, but as long as heavily postworked pics appear in the Poser galleries then they have to live alongside the non-postworked images. This does not mean they bear direct comparison. It's apples and oranges ;) That's my $0.02 anyway.
