    Yes, Lots of too perfect pictures. Lots of cleaning up in post.

    But there are some very good shots too, as they should be. Monte San Michele shot is very clever. The two skyscraper shots with curves in the Architecture section are nice too.

    Not all. Some, for sure -- overshapened and/or too much noise filtering (in my opinion). But those pale in comparison to how much the color and tonality has been altered. Still, the same goes with film -- people chose different films for different looks. And it's not like a lot of adjustments in the darkroom didn't take place. But, photography is art, after all. But sometimes, finding the border between a photo and a painting is like trying to find the edge of a shadow.
