One man's "stunning" may well be another man's "Wow, that's really, really
huge, and it's colorful as all get-out. But where's the detail? And why does
it look like it was shot under water?"
I've seen big digital done by some of the best. It's cute, from a distance,
but up close, it's kind of a let-down: you're expecting a photograph, and you
get a watercolor.
