Again, *in some cases*, the original image just acts as a canvas and it's the
post-processing that creates the WOW factor.
There are various excellent examples in Tim Rudman's books where the straight
prints look (sorry Tim !) just boring but the final result is of another
magnitude.
That's the same for the japanese photographer Adrienne mentionned: that's the
way he clinically describes these urban landscapes to make us feel
unconfortable. In this case, it's not only post-processing (eventual masking
technique, ...) but also pre-processing (choice of equipment, point if view and
lighting)
Will these images have the same impact taken "normally" ? I doubt it.
