How do you respond?

I don't have any digital copies of my work to show at the moment, but one of my classmates called it "Witkin without the gross-out". What do you say to that? How do I respond to the idea that my work resembles the artistic vision of a man whose main influence comes from seeing a decapitated head when he was a child? Actually, I'm a little intrigued, but still gagging a little.
