Whether one views them as disrespectful is, as shown by the opinons here and the artist own actions, entirley subjective.
Whether she is 'disrespecting' in a legal sense I don't know.

IMO - they should be respected because
-The artist chose not (or could not) present them in colour
-Apart from 'colouring them in' (incredibly skilfully) there is no other artisitic re-interpretation or re-imagining of the image
-Iconic photos that are enshrined in the global conciousness
-Some of the artist, and their subjects are no longer with us.

Entirely subjective and my gut reaction is bad taste, an affront to Art and the artist, and the tragic images used equate to pictures of 9/11,
the Kennedy Assassination or Tsunami victims IMO.

I do believe she is not using those particulary images to make money, only to show off her skills, in which case they are probably good choice - any kind of publicity is good publicity after all.

I think its a disgrace. Yeah good skills, but use it on something else.

Maggiesteber's comment on the page touches most points.

There's some images we are privileged yet unfortunate to have to have given reflection. How, when an by who they were caught should be respected.

Using them as influence or inspiration to create something else is fine, but 'colouring them in' is not IMO, then again it's caused an emotional response by pi**ing me off, so maybe it is 'Art'.

'You've asked more than twice' - LOL

Hats off for to the guy for keeping such a cool head

I would definitely agree. You can pick up old versions of Elements on Amazon too .

It opens up a new world, easy to use, and will keep you going for a long time before you might want to upgrade to Lightroom or CS5. Highly recommend.

LOL

Hi & welcome! Plenty of folks here to help you on your journey

I'm only referencing the A77 reviews, from which I gather there is no discernible EVF 'lag' and the EVF image is at least a good approximation of the image that will be saved to the memory card.

Should we get one I would hope the technology would be of comparable or even better level than this current bench setter.

As GX10 user for nearly 4yrs its the hit & miss metering that has annoyed me most. Still I have a K5 on the way hopefully it is a lot better.

Surely the best thing about an EVF is what you see through the viewfinder is what your taking - exposure included - Personally I'm ready for one Mr Pentax

Hi Chunky, to my knowledge their are 5 professional photographers living and working on Skye and one.... even uses Pentax!

I stopped by his gallery for near the end of summer, think he was as pleasantly surprised by my 'brand choice', super bloke & great images, well worth popping along to see his set up and talk shop if you get the chance.

As a painter who has moved to photography I have answered the poll YES.

Apart from that I believe the OP is unanswerable, but good luck everybody

What is art? Where is the dividing line? - There is none. Everything you do can be art if you or someone else feels 'acted upon' by its action or creation. Viewing 'Frozen Seascapes' is art - even though you don't enjoy them they are causing an emotional response - even if it is consternation.

Digital manipulation is almost a requirement now to bring something half original to a scene you care about. If you want true originality then you need to be into reportage, extreme situations, portraits or graphic design. Anything else? - Type it into Google images and you'll find someone has been their already - and it has probably been taken at 4.30am with a 8min exposure and the saturation turned up 25%

Still nothing wrong with trying things and emulating others, try everything to learn and pick up skills along the way, then maybe you'll find a trend you love or even end up creating your own!
