Once you get over the gee-whiz aspect of the images I thought that they were shallow and cliched - same applies to Tree of Life, in my opinion.

Re: OT Sources of creative inspiration
Thanks for the link. On the subject of inspiration... I rented the movie "The Tree of Life" this past weekend. While it is not your traditional Hollywood movie, and I found the first third to be highly annoying, I would recommend it to photographers if only for the cinematography. You could hit the pause button on just about any scene and get inspiration for a great still shot.
