Beautiful

Did I miss a painting?

Stolen from Best Western vs the original

Best of Velvet

Art is art. This is not titled "Naturally Beautiful"

I like some of them.

Your point that tastes vary is legitimate. That said, I have two bones to pick with this.

The first is elevating Photoshop flummery to the level of a painting, which requires much more ability and work to execute. Hitting Print is imo a disqualifying element and a bit of an insult to those who have acquired skill with a brush.

The second is entirely subjective: I am unattracted to the style.

Now there is a portrait that would not be improved by black light or black velvet.

You can still suck at photoshop.......it's not one click and it's beautiful.

Your #2 is understandable.

I can’t do photoshop. I don’t say well-processed photo files aren’t art. But they are not paintings.

Look what they did to Monet...Harder to tell with a Matisse

But Monet couldn't color in the lines......is it not art?

All in the eye..... sometimes only good shot has lots of sun glare.....you can clean that up and it looks great. How about some nuts.....you can make a tuck look "better"

Stoned enough to rail against Dégas. Manet and Matisse were at least good draftsmen.
But those ballerina pics remind me of the shelf of twee and pricy Lladró ceramic figurines at the airport.

Most impressionist give me a headache, like movies I watch 5 times before I figure out what the hell is going on...

Dégas and pastels...barf. Right up there with Gothic drama art.

Sadly the art of Photography requires skills and discipline in getting it right the first time.

PhotoShop is a coloring book, just stay in the lines.

My ex has an exceptional eye. One of her b&w prints won first place at her college.

No it's not like that.

 

[DCcan]

No it's not like that.

More like CRISPR DNA editing, anything is possible.

No it's not like that.

I shoot in RAW format what do you wish to edit?

That looks similar to the forbidden fruit I had. Some seriously tasty stuff.
