I think you guys are just sucking up to Sonny. To me, the picture does not 
tell a story. It doesn't have a soul. It can be cropped square or 35mm. 
What is the vision? It's neither street photography nor formal portrait. I 
see the struggle between the light and the dark much more apparent in the 
fog pictures. This is just doesn't do much for me. Besides, it's overly 
sharpen and some photoshop works have been. You can see it if you focus on 
the black patch on the NE corner.

I do applaud the humor contained within though, so may be you can save if 
that way.
