Further to a post I made a couple weeks back in regards to a local photographer's use of color, I ran into much the same yesterday while pursuing an article about camera trends and the possible demise of the DSLR. The blogger is a well-known travel photographer who makes the kind of photos equivalent to black-light posters, full of bright, saturated, almost neon-like color. The popularity of his blog and his ability to sell images suggest many people like this kind of imagery. To me it seems insistent, pushing the limits of visual intensity. There's nothing subtle or understated, nothing to draw you in, just a club to clobber you over the head.
