yes, to come back to the images.... anything with high symmetry, like refelctions on water, often wors well when applying the rule of halfs

I think the word 'rule' disgusts the nature and sensitivities of the right-brained, anti-authority thinking of the artist. Maybe it would be more diplomatic to use the word 'appeal', rather than rule?

This 'stuff' has been around for thousands of years.

Wow, I let the browser idle for a little while so I can completed a couple of projects that are due today, and you guys are having this excellant debate.

The internal monologue going on while trying to think of a title was how much I dislike rules. Question authority and ***k the rules .....mmm...there was a third one, oh yeah - hope I die before I get old. These were my mantras that I have lived with for many years. I've had to tweak the last one slightly to be mentally old. Nowdays, it's toned down only to the point of not being put in jail and does not cost excessively.

Thanks for all your comments and discussions. The appeal of thirds has a nice ring to it abraxas.

Yes, this sounds like an acceptable phrase

Okay NJMAN, thanks for your time and effort to hopefully get this photo it's just rights. This should now properly show this image correctly. C&C still welcome.

Now, that is wonderfully sharp and clear! And still only 88 KB. Very acceptable file size, and still, outstanding quality. Glad to be of help.

Thanks for humoring me.
