Yes, Jalo, they are stunning.
Beautiful representations of photo-polymer engraving. We are discussing the fact that they are not photogravures, not how beautiful they are.
 Look at it this way: you have two works of art. One is a lithograph and one is an etching. They are both beautiful, fantastic examples of technical excellence, the top of thier respective processes. That does not change the fact that one is a lithograph and one is an etching.
A photogravure is a photogravure.
A polymer engraving ( or polymer gravure if you will) is a polymer engraving.
Simple, no judgements, just different processes.
