    That's very impressive PSing.

    But why all that work to create an image that looks exactly like a rather mundane photograph? headscratch.gif

    I suppose the question really is why do photorealism as a form of art. Whether you use pigment and canvas or ones and zeros is just a matter of technique. I don't know that I have an answer other than to say that it must be satisfying to the artist to create a reality from nothing. As to the viewer, I suppose whatever rocks your boat is fine. ne_nau.gif Personally, I generally don't care for it unless it is mixed with non-realist elements. Some of Gerhard Richter's stuff is really haunting.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for that, I don't think I'd seen his work before. I always like it when folks name names and I can Google their work. thumb.gif

    What? No download link? :D Amazing work even though it falls outside of what I really care for. I can't help but think that an equal could have been made with a camera in about 1/60th of a sec.

    He's famous for his stuff. My hubby attended a workshop with him, and he was a guest speaker at our local Adobe User's Group Meeting. Formerly from NY he's out here in California now.

    His work is incredible! Keeps him off the streets, right? Laughing.gif

    Unbelievable, that is outstanding. Thanks for shareing Gus. I am amazed that he stuck with it for so long, but the results speak for themselves.
    Cheers
