I see what you are getting at, and in part agree, but unless I had Frank
as a student in a class in which I had trained him to do one thing and
he had done another, I would never say his work "suffers from all sorts
of ills."  Not to be personal, but it strikes me as a little
inconsistent that you object to Ken's royal "we" but then share your
views as though they are objective truths rather than matters of taste. 
I have no notion whatsoever that Frank's photo is not exactly what he
meant to do.  Do you?  If not, don't you need to know that before
assuming that he must really want it to look like your Platonic idea of
it?
