The topic of photography should be dropped, yes. But do not ask someone to agree to disagree with you when you're insulting something directly.
OT: This entire discussion shouldn't have been made in the first place. The plan should've been simply executed, like has been done with line-arts in the past. This topic has created nothing but a headache and bad feelings between so many members, it's ridiculous.
Agreed all the way around.
I am not a professional or even amateur photographer by any means but I do know first hand from painful experience how incredibly hard it is to get a perfect picture of any animal doing exactly what you want them to do, from the right angel, in the exact perfect lighting, etc. Horses, Dogs, Fish, Cats, etc do NOT just look like that in pictures unless you know what you are doing or are damn lucky.
To not consider it an art form and not pay homage to their hard work and dedication is your choice. To voice that on a forum such as this is downright rude, criminal, and in indescribably poor taste.
I am seeing sides of people I've been quite civil to downright friendly with in the past that I honestly don't like. I wish this thread would never have been made but the damn horses would have just been changed with a firm "Because I said so!" from Tess and that be that.
As it is, I can not feel the same way about so many people I've heard from on this thread. Every time I see them around the forums from this moment forward, I will have certain comments and statements pop into my mind. It WILL drastically affect my mood towards trading and everything else I'm afraid as it's just the way I am. And this makes me deeply sad. D:
