    Technically, whether this or that EV should have been used for a "proper" exposure, maybe you can say it is superior as a question of academics. But only if the final result isn't borne of Marketa's choices.

     

    Based on Marketa's portfolio, I don't believe she is technically deficient.

     

    As art, signified by the individual's choices made to get to what we are viewing and how they affect the viewer, Marketa's vision is stronger and comes across as less contrived. The tone of her photograph is stronger, and in my opinion more appropriate based on the basic idea, as well as how well it is carried out, defined by the elements and strength of style.

     

    From Marketa's biography: "I try to use a distinct and thus an identifiable style."

     

    If 30% of the comments here are based on the keying and exposure and whether it is "proper", then that 30% is missing the point of art. The true artist knows the rules, a.k.a. the present conventions, and once the rules are second nature, knows when and how to break them.

     

    Marketa knows when to break the rules.
