Your picture was in the great British tradition. Something I might see even today in the big London Dailies (Telegraph, Independent, Guardian or Observer) or even their weekend magazines. Your picture has a lot of similarities to maybe Jane Brown of the Observer or McCabe or some other Brits. Don't apologise - celebrate a great image of a famous man. Bravo! Keep up the work.
