I like it, can't say as I love it though. There is something about the composition that draws my eye around in a pleasing way. For me the things that make it pleasing have almost nothing to do with the subject matter, or the technical prowess of the photo. As an aside, at one point I wanted to design an experiment where you would measure the movements of peoples eyes as they looked at a picture, and do an analysis of the movements in the frequency domain, to see if visually pleasing shapes worked off movements with similar sorts of harmonic relationships as pleasing combinations of notes. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
