Admittedly, it’s a cool effect but, isn’t making a work of art look like a photograph...umm...self defeating? Is it really art or just mimicry? Think about it. If I copy a masterpiece exactly- the Mona Lisa for instance. Is that art? True art comes from your heart, your id, your ego, your very soul- not a copy machine.

Good question. Is photo realism in painting art? It depends, I'd say. Wasn't Mona Lisa a realist painting? Is the following art? Why, why not?
