Esther. The perfect answer ;-)

One day people will ask you 'But why do you like it up there in the right hand corner?'

Don't fall into that trap until you finish school. After that you'll be able to give them some explanation that makes them happy. But you'll still know that you just like it up there in the right hand corner. Keep that to yourself ;-)

This is the secret of life.

Re: From estHer. (4.00 / 2)

I also liked the original more, with not even a 10% cut, because of those apparent swirls. (There, I gave myself an explanation. I should be an art critic.)

Re: From estHer. (4.00 / 2)

Yep - the original had a bit more pertinent information in it than LEP's version, which was cropped for compositional reasons alone (sorry LEP). LEP thought the leaves were just a tiled background ie decorative. You need the perspective depth of the tarmac to understand what the leaves are and how they got there.

There's a hell of a lot of information in the leaves ;-)

Everyone IS an art critic. It just needs the honesty and a bit of contextual understanding

Re: From estHer. (none / 1)

I hate to complicate this fascinating discussion about life and leaves and swirls but I just found this photo on my hard drive taken 20 seconds earlier than the other one, that both estHer and I prefer.

Re: From estHer. (4.00 / 2)

You're both wrong: the other one is much better.

Did you get my e-mail?

Re: From estHer. (none / 0)

Just found your email. I don't go to that box every day. I'll reply from my real email address.

Re: From estHer. (4.00 / 2)

As with Colman, I prefer the other one - there is more to look at in there.

RThe view from Semiologiville (none / 1)

In the original Esther framing, there are some important details. Only 3 fingers are used to carry the acoustic guitar in a bag. The guitar neck points down at some leaves with almost a magnetic attraction. There's another 2 metres of leaves in the distance.
