As a style, Photorealism has a few detractors, who often dismiss it as pointless.
My thoughts exactly. Why recreate something in another medium (paint) so closely as to make it indistinguishable from the original (photo). That would be like creating a full scale model of the Eiffel Tower out of paperclips, so accurate as to be indistinguishable from the original. Why bother?
