The series is technically fantastic stuff, Keith, but it gives me the creeps.

Russ, thanks, but it was never intended to be easy viewing.

I'm not knocking it, Keith. It's just not my cuppa tea.

I have always enjoyed your cheerful Indian views, Keith.
But I also find these emotionally darker images very powerful and moving.

I agree with Eric, even though I am disturbed in a way I can't quite articulate. Perhaps because the image looks so raw, exposing the inner self of a creature and reminding me that we are just as raw on the inside.

Stupendous… All these shots turn into an aesthetic anatomy lesson and I like that very much.
