Wow, this forum is a very friendly place...

Probably Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Probably Tall Poppy Syndrome.

No, probably not. More likely a natural response to an overblown introduction of some OK-but-not-Earth-shattering photos.

Hmmmm. The last time we had a post like this (someone hyping the work of a young photographer), it went nowhere very fast. The mods ended up shutting it down.

Some pretty basic psychology here - If you are going to offer someone's work up as groundbreaking or "taking photography to a new level," you should be prepared to have someone challenge you or simply not agree.

I always find myself hoping the photographers who've been promoted like this don't find these threads.

Maybe this is more to your taste? 😛
