Would have been awesome to see the edited pictures after including all the customer comments!

Admittedly, art – famous or not – is not always very good from a perspective of readability, clarity, or advertisment effect. From a customer perspective, many classics could indeed be critizised. ;)
Every artist knows they're putting their work out there to be judged. That goes without saying. But criticizing is easy, creating is hard. Nearly all non-professional critics are idiots.
