Good idea Erik - that's something I need to work on more, trying different heights to get different perspectives.
Elsa, that's something I've gradually come to understand.
Jack, that's very true. The eye wanders over a scene with only a small portion thereof being seen sharply at any one moment. The mind assembles a mental image from these impressions. And somehow, looking at a photograph, even when one's eyes scan here and there, is very different than looking at a live scene.
