Thanks for doing this.

I would prefer style_photorealistic (or style:photorealistic), to make
it easy to distinguish the tags.

[snip]

> * What other styles can you propose?

Some existing style like tags and/or name elements (in the 0.18 release) are:
bw
color
outline
contour
cartoon

I would find it very useful to have these as conventional style tags,
so that it is easy to search for, e.g. only color (or non-bw)
non-cartoons...

I would also suggest that we have a default polarity: e.g that color
is not tagged, only black and white (bw).

Finally, I agree with posters who said that it will be hard to tag
things consistently, but I think having (a) guidelines with examples
would be a great help in encouraging consistency and (b) even if a few
images are hard to decide on, the tags will still be useful in
general.

Yours,
