The foreground doesn't work as well, and too much interesting detail is lost when cropped like that. Sorry.

Roy says you can have too much interesting detail sometimes and it's best to leave some of it to the imagination. Sorry.

So I realised when I was still in that state when "detail" interested me. Get too close to something and one become unable to see it any more.

The degree to which different people are neurologically sensitive to visual disturbances may differ widely, and this is bound to influence their artistic judgement. I have my own and although I sometimes agree with him, in this case it's clearly different from Roy's, and he and I will have to agree to differ.

Yes, you certainly have your own style. I can usually recognise your pictures from a thumbnail, without needing to read the name.

The neurological sensitivity of which I speak may go beyond visual disturbances; it may also influence the ease and readiness with which the eye is drawn to one or other part of a picture. This is something which can be studied scientifically, and I would expect any such studies to show significant differences between individuals. It's another thing likely to influence artistic judgement.
