Well, this is what makes for horse races - consistently exposed, yes -
nicely exposed? Only if you like exposures that make it impossible to
tell what's in large areas of the frame. This thing is a joke - it looks
like some bad art school project. It's supposed to be a documentary
about the dogs - yet other than showing me that they roam free, it
really doesn't tell a story at all.

Now Martin Parr is another matter all together - there's someone with a
consistent, beautifully executed, unique, zany, vision, capturing
universal foibles and inanities. If you posted that as your PAW, Feli,
I'd say "holy shit, Feli, where have you been hiding this stuff?!! It's
spectacular!" :-)

Actually I like Trent Parke's Dream/Life. Very surreal,dreamlike. 
Nicely composed and exposed. You can see a consistent style from shot to
shot, like he intended to shoot the project with a certain effect in
mind.

Martin Parr and Mike Power are the two of the guys I don't get

I mean look at this. If I posted this as my PAW I would be skinned
alive.
