I think the problem lies in the fact that some people perceive them to be painted images rather than photographs. To me they are obviously photographs, numbers 3 and 4 being particularly good. Number two is probably not quite so clear because the photographer wouldn’t have much time to take what is probably the most spectacular shot they’ll ever take. I can’t comment on the photographic processes Damien has described, that’s a language I don’t understand. I do however, understand why Damien suggests the photographers might feel aggrieved at the suggestion the images look like they have been painted.
