C: Ugh, personally. What's wrong, exactly, with a photograph feeling like a photograph? This feels like some clever dynamic range manipulation and over-smooth rendering of a complex model. I'm sure its all very clever and technical and all, but really ... and the apparent loss of scale is hilarious. Oooh! Look! He's a got a really small hand! So I don't like it.
R: Did you have to get a Thesaurus out for that one?

PLEASE tell me this doesn't really strike you as obtuse wording!

PLEASE tell me this doesn't really strike you as obtuse wording!
• obtuseness - dullness: the quality of being slow to understand
• obtuseness - the quality of lacking a sharp edge or point
The first is a quality of the reader, not of the writer. While the second is a quality of the work itself, I don't see how you could say that comment is lacking a point... I think the comment is wonderfully precise and articulates exactly what the commenter is feeling about the image.
Why, exactly, are people having a problem with this comment? I wish *all* comments were this precise and informative.

ok... when my comment was first quoted by posthumous he decided to delete part of the quote to better prove his point... and i must add that when he said that, I found it quite rude as well.. when you say "Some people actually know words like these." you are basically saying that I am stupid because I don't know these words... if you want to comment on something someone says in a forum, please don't be rude about it...
the reason why I posed the comment here was not because of the commenters wording... i posted it because I found it very funny how he yammered on about the technical aspects of the image, then at the end said "Oooh! Look! He's a got a really small hand! So I don't like it" ... i found it funny because it seemed as though he didn't like it because my bro in the pic looked like he had small hands...

I admire the sheer audacity of your attempt to cast me as the rude, insulting one.
