I'm not sure how you can misconstrue that from the two statements...

They complement each other perfectly; I don't like it when people disparage
other people's renditions as unnatural or claim to know what a natural image is, as this is a totally subjective thing to which no one has the answer (as you said so yourself).
At no point have I labelled anyone's images or processing skills inferior (which implies some sort of comparison to something that is 'better'). I hold Marcus' skills in high enough esteem to know that everything he has done to the mentioned images has been by choice. I may disagree with that choice (and he apparently does so with mine), but that does not make his (or my) skills inferior. You cannot argue with taste and that is exactly what we seem to have started doing here for some strange reason.
