I would guess the nuts and bolts are stainless steel, therefore no rust and because of this I am pleased to be able to see the whole shot. I enjoy really climbing into a picture and having a good poke about, but must admit that for WOW factor a closer, cropped shot of only a few nuts and mussels would be the answer.
As a technical/forensic photo this is good, but I can understand it doesn't give the artsy appeal.
The truth is, do you like it or not?

Indeed, sad news. I also have several of his books and found/find them inspiring and educational. He shall be missed.
