I am spending a bit of time reading about art appreciation. I found this interesting recently: they studied people walking around a Chicago art museum and found that the average person spent 7 seconds looking at each painting. They found that people with a deeper appreciation for art and art critics spent an average of one hour looking at a painting and often times came back another day to study the piece again. They summarized that the 7 second people were gathering information about the painting and moving on. This is going somewhere......
.... I love the tight crop and colors in #3 I looked at it for a long time (not an hour...busy mom and all....) but it intrigued me and made me smile. The first one I will admit I zipped by the first time I saw it. Tighter crops seem to produce an image that causes people to want to unwrap the image and look for all the levels and pieces. If you give it to them on a silver platter (not cropped so tight that it is recognizable) you get the 7 second zip by. I love what you are doing with this image Rusty. Thanks for the share.
