Most of it looks like the product of someone who got horribly drunk,
then headed into a darkroom, dodging and burning tools in hand. Some
of it isn't bad and a very small fraction is actually good. But is it
is as misused by people as most Brit landscape shooters overemphasize
green and can't seem to balance blue to save their lives.

Well done! You actually qualified your assertion
with the word "most".

A substantial improvement.

Yes,
some people have misinterpreted the HDR imaging usage.
Placing side by side, HDR and a single properly exposed image from
HDR
sequence would
show the defects.

A pity that the improvement did not continue further in the same post,
because we got an all-encompassing sweeping generalisation about "Brit
landscape photographers". :-(

Or listen to those US tourists visiting the greener parts of Britain
who exclaim about how unbelievably green the landscape is. I've heard
them say that even though they'd been told about it, they would never
have believed quite how green it was if they hadn't seen it with their
own eyes :-)

British people going to Ireland have the same reaction.

He says they overemphasize green. Perhaps he holds them responsible for the
cyan skies he griped about a couple of weeks ago.

As any visitor to England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland will tell you,
the British Isles *are* very green. Most visitors will also have
personal experience of the reason why - it rains quite a lot. ;-)

He has so many gripes that he must need to buy industrial quantities
of Pepto-Bismol. ;-)

I have never seen that term applied to a male, except in the photography
newsgroups. Is that British and/or Australian usage? (Sorry to stray OT, but
I've been wondering about it for weeks.)

It is a most useful term if you want to terminally insult a female.

Possibly. Using the term implies some sort of gender abnormality and is
derogatory simultaneously.

Right. Just as some males are bitches.

But it's all so crude in writing in a public forum. Shows lack of verbal
skill, usually.

Nonsense. No gender abnormality is implied. When used to describe a
male by someone from the UK, Australia, or Ireland it's simply a
vulgarism describing a contemptible person.

It's similar to the US usage of "asshole". You aren't implying that a
person has a rectal abnormality when you use that word. You are just
picking an offensive and vulgar word to express your contempt.

Actually it would be a rectal abnormality, not to have one.
