Ken,
Apart from all this stuff you wrote about the picture......... did you like 
it?  Is it any good without all the descriptive prose?

As I believe, Kyle said he may use it as part of his already incredible 
portfolio of photography to illustrate his ability for shooting advertising, 
products, magazine illustrations and many other assignments.

The bottom-line on an illustration like this is.... "does it illustrate this 
photographers ability to shoot something above the norm of many of the day?"

I'm sure you'd have to agree, Kyle's ability, certainly for many of us long 
term folks who've seen is work over the years, is above and beyond many in 
the illustration business of today!
