I'm betting a committee was involved... group decisions are slow.

This is more of an ETTR type thing. He needed details and wanted drama. It was easier to darken the shadows and keep the details.

To be clearer... I'm not saying there can be no consensus and all opinions on art are equal. But I'm also clearly not the arbiter who gets to decide this. In reality, something as crass as your audience is what you have to fall back on. Does someone like it enough to want it? (You can be your own audience of one)

Years ago I studied aesthetics in college... Then as now this topic drives towards certain themes. Is art required to be memetic? Is an emotional reaction or a sensory one objective? Does art require either "truth" or "creativity"?
My opinion is based on what makes my pleasure. I do understand the op, I do see too many over blown images enriched to be unreal. But I also get what normhead posted in his winter scene - objectivity is very hard to define and harder to judge. In the end I dislike things that are more artificial looking to my eyes than what I think is tasteful.
But I have no illusions that my aesthetic is better or more true than somethings else's. That doesn't prevent me from strong feelings about how well a piece is processed. But in my heart I know there's no standard to use as a yardstick.
