Maybe I excess on it, but I'm usually not comfortable with an image if it's too lop sided. Note I said usually. Left side doesn't include either a significant element or color. IOW, it could use more weight. My eye refuses to stay in the frame. Jack --- On Sun, 2/28/10, Boris Liberman

Stop sign with 2 palm trees growing out of it? There's a bit of optical illusion there. The grey wall below the sign doesn't seem to have a corner. And the palm trees are too skinny and tall to be starting at ground level. I want some resolution of the scene and keep looking for it. Regards, Bob
