It would be nice to have something for the photons to show up on...
Now, you have a totaly black background or surface. You may have 
100000000 photons, but they never show.
My bet is that even without any photons, that scene will look the same, 
or very similar.

Don't forget that shadowless also prevent any highlight.
You don't need photons to have highlights.
You don't need photons to have dispersion work.
