Well said indeed Ann. When I posted the first "Perched," I deliberately did not say much about it. There were things I liked about the image, and things I did not like. (For one thing, to get that viewpoint I had to shoot from bright sunlight into the shadows.) The subject was centered, because I was more concerned with getting the image to come out reasonably clearly than to frame it artistically, I also wanted the get the shot before he decided to move. Mostly, I posted it for comments and criticisms, and in that respect it was extremely successful. As I said, in many respects I liked the shot from the other angle, with the sunset lighting on his hair and back, much better, but the first post was the one that showed the rock, which to me was a dramatic element. The fact that no one else saw the drama or at least any value in the drama was very meaningful to me. As often is the case, my mind added elements of the scene that were not apparent from the image itself.
