I obviously have no idea if Michael does much in this genre, but I have always felt that what he shows from the ´street´ ethic is much more interesting than any of his landscape work. This is very probably a totally personal take on MY photographic tastes rather than his, but it still strikes me that he does these other things so much better.

That's a bit unfair, Rob. I think Michael does both types of photography remarkably well. I actually came across the LL site as a result of an enquiry I made to Epson in Australia as to why I couldn't get good prints from my Epson 1200. The Epson salesman gave me a spiel about how difficult the whole topic of color management was and recommended a few sites on the internet that were very helpful on such matters, one of which was LL.
When I first visited the LL, I was particularly struck by the quality of Michael's landscapes and this feature seemed to distinguish this site from other sites which also provided similar technical advice and tutorials, but few outstanding photos from the owners of the sites.
In those days, Michael even provided tutorials and comments on the compositional interest of photos submitted by readers.
As regards the current front page image, it's very appealing because it has that fluidity of the dance in spades.
It seems this shot was taken with the Canon 50/1.4 at f1.4. I'm glad there was no attempt to get it sharp because the Canon 50/1.4 is incapable of sharpness at full aperture. We would have had a blur of a less appealing kind .
