Title: Rough and smooth
Post by: sdwilsonsct on September 05, 2013, 08:25:48 pm

Mostly I like flowing water smoothed, but in the first case I find the roughness attractive. Suggestions welcome.

Both images work well Scott.

I like both, but prefer the second one. It gives me more context.

Thanks, Tony and Paulo. I've heard the context comment before. I wonder where the line is between presenting the main attraction alone and setting it in context.

I'd venture it is how interesting the main attraction is. A great painting will wow you without a frame or nice setting. Some paintings need props.

I like the images.
