We are looking much too close and not deep enoughat life. This touches at the heart of the debate on manipulated news photos. Our desire for perfection. The microscopic way people are looking at everything since images have been processed so much by computer. We'd have to throw out the majority of the world's great news photos or "decsive moments" because a post was in the way, another flash went off in the background, whatever. Sure, photographers and photo editors have always selected the "sweetest" images. Aesthetics applies in all kinds of photography, but we need more tolerance of reality, on the one hand, and sleight of hand, on the other. If David Copperield, explained each illusion after it was done, his act would soon loose its appeal, its magic. Great photo. Great effort.
