(Jeeze! I hate stomping into something like this, especially when the 
purveyor is an obvious troll. BUT, the statement I've quoted above is 
unconscionable.)

I looked through the photographs on Mr. Morgan's site and found them 
not only extraordinarily pleasing but extremely well composed, 
photographed and rendered. If any of them were underexposed it has 
escaped my attention. Indeed, their were several which I would have 
exposed a 3rd of a stop less (and probably been wrong in my 
judgement).

I would appreciate it if Mr. Atkielski would quote us chapter and 
verse on the images which he finds "underexposed." I would also 
appreciate his pointing out those he finds "heavily Photoshopped" and 
explain why he thinks them so.

I also viewed Mr. Atkielski's site. There were not very many images 
to view. Those that I saw were interesting. Sadly, they were also 
often flat and (IMHO) either over, or under, exposed.
