Perception of art requires only an openness of mind and eye.
Recognizing “cause and effect” requires training and knowledge.
Being able to describe it in context, requires vocabulary and education.
Perception can lead to feeling, but context gives it meaning.
Returning to David’s original question – Sharpness is an attribute whose importance depends on the context, and the context may require a non-literal interpretation of the imagery. We have learned that “sharpness” is where we should be looking – but is the photographer directing our attention honestly, or duplicitously? And if the latter, why are we given the sleigh-of-hand to see what he/she wants us to see?
