Don I appoint you my diplomatic correspondent forthwith, so much more gently put.

Like Andy I don't think I actually have a problem with the individual shots except that I do draw the line at branded bottles on the beach - if it was Corfu, my memory is that one did the drinking on the Taverna terrace and it was local hooch in unmarked bottles. More the strong concentration on staged narrow subject spectrum shots. A lot of thought and effort can also go in to framing and correctly exposing a landscape - as Whistler said in his famous libel trial, it wasn't the time it took to do a painting he was charging £3000 for (c1900 prices), but the lifetime's experience.
