Amazing images, but a bit garish for my taste, more science than art.

What's interesting (to me) is that even the web-size versions
of the images in the linked-to page look noticeably sharp and crisp.

Yes, but artificially so (to my eyes at least).

It's hard to tell wether it's "artificial"
(which is easily done with sharpening filter, of course)
or just "unusual". Reading the article, one might
well expect these images not to look like
"normal" photographs.

They certainly won't look like anything
you'd see with the mk1 human eyeball, due
the time-freezing flash.

(artistic aside; one cheap trick
for making "interesting" photographs
is to deliberately make them look
unlike what an "eyeball" would see,
either by using extreme exposures, perspectives,
focal length, or viewpoints)
