Yep, the technique is trite, but it certainly warrants experimentation, especially by someone who hasn't done it before.
I also agree with Godders about this not being the best way to instill some dynamics into a photo. I don't think "dynamic" necessarily means movement. It can be emotional, or providing a sense of movement or tension. Still, I like this example of a trite technique. Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I like the image. It's pretty and well balanced. However, this technique has been used a lot, and, in my opinion, the results don't vary enough to warrant more and more executions of this type. > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: Boris Liberman < > http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=12495
