critique
May 31, 2020
I want to believe/know that this wonderful image is an "authentic" image rather than a "Photoshopped" one. It's a bit disconcerting to me that it's difficult, today, to tell the difference between the real thing and the created one. I'm reminded of Thoreau's observation, something like "Shams and delusions are esteemed as soundest truths, where, everywhere, realityis fabulous," or something close to that. I recognize the tremendous creativity and skill needed to create some of the "Photoshopped images" and I don't want to disparage those, but my own preference is for the real. In any event, this is a wonderful image!
