Images should be simple and instantaneously recognizable as to the subject. An image that has a plethora of light and dark areas, with no form or function, causing one's eyes to roam endlessly over the image, is simply lost in the noise and represents, what is commonly called, a round file image. The second image is a little better in that it only takes a few seconds to recognize what it is. The back of a bride and a long train (I think.) But the subject is still lost in the space of whatever all of that other stuff is? JMHO, Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
