Then I would say that this person's opinion is silly no matter how
well known/expert they are, for they are looking for the wrong thing
(forest for the trees syndrome).

If I saw someone looking at my images with a loupe in a gallery I
would laugh out loud, even if it was a big name that could bring me in
fame and fortune. I don't want it that bad.

I don't judge an image on high technical purity. I judge it on
emotional/intelectual impact with sometimes a nod to design elements
like lines and lighting. And I won't change my workflow to please
someone else's viewpoint.

No offense though, I respect YOUR viewpoint, just not your famous
observer's. I have now and then seen (with envy)some artistic work
done by a member or two of this list up close that relied much on
attention to technical details. BUT also on the emotive impact. :-)
