A.A, I am surprise, you are getting soft these days.
Technicalities are funny things, when done right, no one notices, if done incorrectly, everyone sees it as a sore thumb.
PBS is an established well regarded professional photographer. We all have seen his work. Some and some do not like his style, and that is perfectly fine. However, we all agree the technical part of this photography was usually spot on, from make up, art direction, styling, DI, lighting and presentation.
For the picture of the woman at the dinning table, the technicality of styling was all wrong, from the red and white wine thing, to the table setting, and also, I forgot to mention, the cheap looking wine glasses looked out of place with the much nicer silverware and plates.
These technicalities have nothing to do with art nor fashion. These are attention to details, part of being a professional photographer. I am sure its merely an oversight. But I do not expect this from a professional.
I really nearly like this picture. Those wine glasses and wines really are annoying.
