Annie Leibovitz: Miley Portrait Is Beautiful

There's been so much hype about the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photos, no one stopped to ask what the photographer had to say about the shoot. Annie Leibovitz is defending her work, saying the Miley photos have been misinterpreted. She released the following statement:

"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."

So now that we have everyone weighing in on the pics, what are your thoughts? Are the photos of Miley classy and artistic, or inappropriate given her age?
