Perhaps part of the problem is that this particular article blends (or blurs) two different aspects of the hobby - model photography and layout construction. One of the challenges in model photography is to to take a model and make as "realistic" a picture as you can. Digital photography has made it possible to enhance shots in previously impossible ways, but it's basically a technological extension of the older tricks used in photography. The challenge of layout construction is also to create a scene as realistically as possible, but you're stuck with the "real" world. You can't digitally enhance your layout room and create something that isn't there. An article about a layout should, in my opinion, show that real world context. As impressive as the layout in question may be, by digitally enhancing the layout room, it can't be judged against "real" layouts. I'm left wondering what was hidden and how that compares with my own (decidedly incomplete) work. Mike Tennent
