The ones I find I enjoy the most in retrospect are the ones that, after initial assembly, I kept taking 4X6 prints out until it was impossible to remove any more without destroying the picture. There are also quite a few I *never* managed to put together into a coherent whole. Hockney did one I can't figure out to this day - a spinning ice skater taken at the Rockefeller Center rink. (Sorry, can't find it on line to show you.)
