maxwell has a sense of humor in his works, and he streched to achive that too. there is always some kind of drama, a story to read from his works.
the other one put more on the technical challenge for himself, while the scenes (including the human figures appeared) seemed to be there more to serve that purpose
but, nevertheless, you see what you see in any works, there is only what you like and don't like. and perhaps that is the only part you do care.
