I think Nelson Shanks is one of the best there has ever been. I also think this was a tough assignment. I don't think it's his strongest work. Sargent did some similiar pieces that did not work very well either - it happens. I suppose some color may have been lost in the images I've seen. The small image in the ASOPA flyer is richer in color than the larger one in the same printing, for example.
