I can't think of the right word to describe it. Although it is a fairly simple composition and a nice scene it is quite confusing, maybe that's the word, to look at. The natural direction of the waterfall or weir is obviously down, but the sweep of edge of the waterfall takes your eyes across the frame, and across the water. The line of trees then cuts downwards across that sweep and against the flow of water, so the eyes are taken in several directions at once, and can't find a place to settle. This seems to run counter to what is expected from a picture of a waterfall. Regards, Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
