Another question might be - why?

Why not?

That's fine, thanks... I don't really care about thumbs ups.

NOthing is reliable anymore with FAKE news, FAKE people, FAKE skirmishes, FAKE presidents, FAKE executions, but Wiki knows more than I do
(190 days ago)
Dang......I meant to give you 5 thumbs up and forgot. I will do this on another of your photos OK?!
(190 days ago)
Yes, I understand however the reason why my brain doesn't calibrate the image is quite basic. There is within this photo a visual weight imbalance, meaning everything is to the right (patterns and all) and it is outside of the frame making me think it will tip right out and all those patterns on the edge just take my eye right out of the photo.
In our photography courses, our prof once told us to worry when NOBODY mentions a thing about your picture. So, your photo generated thought and discussion and I thank you for that, I just wish this kind of exchange would happen more often on this site.

Shows why Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source, although Golliwogs do have racist roots.

Cool chop. My only issue with it is perspective - "horizon".I think the perspective on the book/rock is good. We are slightly looking down on it. But the top island we are looking REALLY down on it. We should be looking more "level" with it. Something like this https://i.ibb.co/7pw3CVG/perspective.jpg.

Thank you

Actually, it did... thus the initial question. I didn't mean people would sit and consciously contemplate about it for hours (or even minutes, or seconds). But the mind decodes data by looking for patterns it has seen before. If it's something completely new, it tries to manage meaning and make it make sense (not always successfully). If it's something kind of familiar (like a plate of food) but doesn't easily fit, it wonders, get's agitated, or whatever, making it ask, "I wonder why it doesn't do X?"

Awwwwww he's not bad, he's just doing his job and he is sweet. Nice photo

They like to snack too! Thank you.
(190 days ago)
They are sweet potato...the ones with purple skin....and these will break your teeth...but are good. Vietnamese product . Thank you.
(190 days ago)
I appreciate you telling me that ....although I do not agree it has made me think! (a good thing for a change).
(190 days ago)
Thank you for your comments. There is a posterize filter I applied slightly to the entire sh-bang.
(190 days ago)
I was hoping you noticed it! Thank you for your comments, which I appreciate.

fattening

I think the fly adds to the shot
(190 days ago)
Nice DOF. I like how the colors between foreground and background interact as well.
(190 days ago)
Obviously not American, or they'd be "fries." Nice, shot, though.
(190 days ago)
Thank you

Thank you

Yeah, they're good. But don't put too much honey (like in the picture
). I cropped it like that because a normal crop would just be a picture of a plate of food, but by cutting off a little it creates dissonance and makes you look longer, with your brain wanting completion.
(190 days ago)
Good! Even if the fly makes it a little less appetizing …
(190 days ago)
I like the focus, nice ...
(190 days ago)
interesting..
(190 days ago)
great shutter speed, great photo.
(191 days ago)
Top notch. Lovely
(191 days ago)
This time I think if I crop the photo becomes vertical and I don't love it very much..but thanks for your attention !
(191 days ago)
I thought so, but why? What was your reason for doing so?
(192 days ago)
Thanks (cropped it like that on purpose)
(192 days ago)
Thank you
(192 days ago)
Thanks
(192 days ago)
Nice blend. Good SBS.
(192 days ago)
YUM YUM YUM I would buy this in a heartbeat and the mug too! I would have liked a tighter crop to eliminate that black line up top but that is just me...it is a great snack photo. Thumbs up.
(192 days ago)
LORD stop the beating of my heart! I have to try this when I get home. I would have liked to see more but you cropped it off
(192 days ago)
I want to DIVE right into this...errr, these. Blueberry melons, the newest Japanese invention....Love THIS.
(192 days ago)
Yes fair comments
(193 days ago)
Nice action shot this
(193 days ago)
Thanks! I would really like to come there
(193 days ago)
Yes, I use Photomatix also and also Nik software for HDR....so much out there now. By the way, the flight from Rome to Bangkok is about 9 hours! We are waiting for you. (Chiang Mai is another hour flight north)
(193 days ago)
Thanks Olga

I used 3 shots, exposure 0, -2ev, +2ev (see the sbs), blended in an old free version of Photomatix.
You too live in a very beautiful place, I would like to visit the Far East, perhaps one day, if the ailments of old age will allow me.
I'll be waiting for you in Rome, I'll be happy to be your guide

I like the monochrome for it is well done with good tonal ranges. I do think that the umpire lacks a certain sparkle, standing like a telephone pole showing no emotion at all with back to us. Technically you have a huge dust spot by his cap and that needs to be removed. Formatting him into the rule of 3's helps but doesn't save the image.

Your high dynamic range is well worked and gives the image depth without that "overcooked" feel (which some of us love). What EV exposure did you use? The pundits recommend a +2EV and -2EV. And what software did you use to blend your images? You are lucky to be living here inside a living museum. I loved Rome and the people were wonderful to us....we must go back there one of these days while we are still on this side of the grass

Agree, it is a bit pastel looking. Sometimes the softness of pastel soothes the beating heart. .......

When I took the hotel sign out he looked misplaced so I chopped him out too!
