I know, some people love them, but I have never warmed up to them. So to each his/her own, I guess.
I must say I never have either. It's the contorted poses that bother me most. That said, I like them better in the big original versions than when shrunk to coffee-book size, and some are more to my taste than others (but certainly not the highly contorted heron and eagle given as examples here which I can't look at without wanting to twist my head around for a more natural view).
But as you say, to each his own, de gustibus non est disputandum. . ..

Actually, Audubon's artwork remains very popular. An exhibition not too many years ago of some of his plates at the local art museum here in Reno was very well attended and included some spectacular examples, many of which I liked very much. Please don't let the carpings of a couple of curmudgeons like Swissboy and myself persuade you otherwise.
