Does it really matter whether it was a lucky grab shot or that he took many
trips to find the perfect light?  In another thread, somebody <grin> wrote:

I agree with others in that his images are oversaturated.  At least on my
monitor.  The images may look fine in person, but why have a web site if
you're going to use that as an excuse?  I've seen many web sites where the
photos look absolutely stunning.  If you're going to go to the trouble of
having a web site, you should optimize what you display for the chosen
medium.
