It's too dramatic - it doesn't really fit my idea of his work. Which is probably a good thing. Whereas it would fit right into Bee Flower's paradigm, I think. That said, I like it a lot. These days I find myself liking mainly pictures I wouldn't have taken (or wouldn't have been able to take) myself.
