I guess I should have simply left my expression at "seem? unnatural."

Hopefully you know that I love this entire series Montie.
Many of them feel absolutely inspired; and inspiring.
I find the group incredibly strong.

this one seems to jump out of the group - with a very unique treatment
and I don't believe that's due to the "high key".

whenever I see a "noticeable" high key vignette
my mind asks, "what aesthetic purpose does this serve?"
