Mike, you should definitely read "The Immortality" by Milan Kundera (Czech writer who emigrated to France during the communist regime, famous works like "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being") - he writes a lot about such "beauty" there. It's a very ironic, sceptic dark book.
That said, Butch worked the image well, professionaly. But for me, the adjusted image makes the woman not more beatiful, but just an automaton of _common_ beauty. The most _average_. Thus not beautiful.
Absolutely agreed. Soudns like an interesting book. BTW, I was not wanting to denigrate the work done to the picture. Just the point of it. 8-)
