Funny PPG thread

There is an amusing PPG thread going on over at the other forum, where someone has posted two very ordinary shots by Ansel Adams asking if people would have voted yes or no if they came up in the PPG voting. The funny part is how many people are saying they would have voted yes! These are the two images: What do you people think? I would have voted no on both of these without a second thought.

I would venture to say, however, that the fact that both would generally be elected by people has more to do with the author than the work. Probably the poster's point with the whole question.

Oh yes, absolutely I think that was his point. It was just the chorus of 'I would have voted yes' replies that got to me. I can't decide if it was simple knee-jerk reactions to the hallowed AA name, or if it's more a case of the Emperor's New Clothes and they were too intimidated to say what they really think.
