Some of the best photo's I've seen on the web are here,some proper stunners.
I like Keith Carter, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tom Baril, things of that ilk. The gallery you linked to just leaves me cold.

Could you kindly refrain from talking shit, please? 😆
Jimjam, Fair enough it's all subjective!

Woah woah woah. This is the internet, imagine what would happen if we all talked sense.
Imagine what would happen if either of you actually engaged your brains for a moment and tried to engage in something worthy of discussion.
Sure what I have written is easily interpreted by others as intellectual nonsense. But there are other people who think this stuff important and I'm more than comfortable in my own intellect to standby what I have said and argue that it says something important about the genre. You don't have to like it or even understand it. But you don't get to dismiss it because of that.

I wouldn't say intellectual nonsense. You aren't talking about anything I don't understand. I just think you are talking shit, not intellectual shit, just pure unadulterated shit! 😆
If you had a valid and informed opinion you'd a) share it and b) realise that nothing screams ignorance more than castigating someone else's clearly considered opinion by hurling insults at them.
FWIW, I think I'm agreeing with geetee1972. I don't enjoy looking at photos that have been heavily manipulated to a point they don't reflect what the human eye actually sees. That allows for some use of post-processing to overcome the limitations of a camera lens/imaging system but falls short of much of the overly-processed stuff around (often on here as it happens).
Some B&W shots might be a special case....
tbh there's not really much of an opinion to be had, it's a bunch of nice images flung together on a web page, not much else too it.geetee1972 - Member

Ps, I haven't insulted you once, just stated that I think your opinion is shit, which I still do! 😆
