Surely these have nothing to do with photography. OK, so where are the photographs? Surely these have nothing to do with photography.

Although these are great images, it looks as though the majority of them have been heavily 'photoshopped'. The images above don't inspire me to get my camera out, but it inspires me to spend more time improving my photo editing skills. Aneez I gotta agree with Michael Young’s comments.

Hold on a minute !! What's all this gushing uncritical praise? Almost without exception these are 25 stunning images, but photographs? They are great examples of digital manipulation. Only one comment above mentioned that. Where is the soul that's at the heart of true photography? As opposed to examples of vapid but clever, ingenious but ultimately cynically empty, technical processing. Just as years ago creative artists with airbrushing equipment altered reality in images to match the desires of the viewer. Of course that is now done digitally, but should these skills be applied indiscriminately to every image to produce meaningless 'best of' lists? Have we as photographers - or would-be photographers - lost our sense of judgement, taste, appreciation, our recognition of reality? Or is it simply another indication of the dumbing down of our society, an "emperor's clothes" attempt to ignore the real world by presenting everything in a blemish free format? Whoa, there !!!

The set was lovely...10 Knots the obvious favorite. But I thought that the "multiple exposure" progression of the guy on the basketball court was fun...I've been playing around with those since my son despises to be photographed but DOES love to jump off cliffs into the lake!
