Although I agree the article features a nice twist and had me cracking up, if we're gonna blame macro photography we might as well blame photographs in general, or color photographs, or forums, or the internet in general, or a dozens of other things. I also don't like that PS is put down in general, it can be a very helpful tool in "de-actinitizing" online pictures. Maybe the lack of sleep is the reason this post seems so cranky so I'll stop here, to end with a positive note it gave a great insight into a big part of the designer coral craze, and it's definitely bookmarked.
