I've seen this kind of "contest" on some popular photo blogs. I thought I would see if it would spark some interesting conversation here. Fingers crossed....

Crewdson rocks.

Thanks for your enlightening contribution. Why did you even bother? WTF, indeed.

Isn't WTF a sign of good art?

art is not subjective.

art is not subjective.

Indeed, studies show that WTF is measurable on a decibel scale making art, in fact, quantifiable and much less about the less precise musings of thin bearded, glasses wearing, poetically deficient art connoisseur.

art is not subjective.

Yes, it is. It's truth which isn't. Common mistake: lots of folks get them confused.

Both are wonderful. Jeff Walls composition is more daring and interesting. The central subject is a diagonal in the lower third. The crewdson work is a nice photomanip - there are lots of wonderful photomanip on deviantart as well.
