I like CG that portrays fantastic things realistically. I don't see the point of creating computer generated photo realistic scenes of mundane subjects that a camera could handle quicker and better (unless it's just an exercise to hone your skills.) The possibility of creating a convincing alternate-reality is what excites me about CG, but to each his own.
