No doubt there has been a significant amount of time, money and devotion put into that shot. I'm just asking myself, what the market is for these kind of images?
Really cool but as mentioned I wouldn't place a lot on recouping the money via stock sales on something like that. Especially micro.
Somewhat less cynically - IStock has obviously become a way to get exposure and promote clearly non-microstock work. By playing along, and approving photos that might never actually sell (and in some cases don't even meet the guidelines IS imposes on actual microstock) IStock gets some cool new imagery for their main page.
Possible use for these sort of images: Painting supply company, Pantone color matching software advert, Print shop advert (if you come up with it, we can print it), etc, etc.
