Glad to see Johnson insired someone else :)
Interesting how it has influenced you, and I noted the main subject of the image is a person, of which there are very few within his own work.
For me, his abilities lie more so in the way he presents an unbiased view of a subject with sensitive and unprobing observation. He also uses a lot of diagonals when concerning the man made world. Gone off on a bit of a tangent there! I can see where you were coming from, the over exposed BG is not enough to wipe it out however and so there remains little details that distract from the subject.
