Wow. Fascinating. Warned simply by the fact that you had posted this, I tried to analyze my impressions. First was "Hm. One seems feminine, one masculine. But I bet they're actually the same face, aren't they. Yep, they sure are. So what's the cue?" Then I spent a long time trying to figure out what the cue was. I got close, but my analysis was a LOT more complicated than just "contrast." Thanks for posting that! -- Charles
