Re: PESO - Pairs
Hi Jack ... the removal of the orphan blossom does improve the pic a bit, but it also changes its context. I think both work, although I do go back and forth between which is preferable. The additional saturation and contrast doesn't work for me. The photo seems to want a softer, more delicate look. Also, the more saturated look that so many photogs are using these days has become tiresome. Others will most certainly disagree.

Re: PESO - Pairs
Bruce, I do like your more open cropping on the left (right sides are 'prox the same). I cropped slightly more on the left to off-set the (my) feeling of a tipping to the left. I don't care for the OOF lower base tangle and I needed to take down the top so as to feel comfortable with its balance. I did an absolutely minimal bumping of contrast to help separate the blossoms from the background. No saturation increase.

Re: Pairs
Dag, While I would normally agree with Tom, regarding your following comment, visually there IS no pair, unless you can distinguish between each line. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Fra: mike wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tom wrote: However as far as I know line pairs consist of two lines with a space in the middle, when the space disappears you have hit the limit of resolution. grin So this pair consists of three things.. No, two 'things,' or two individual items, if you will. One item is a black line. The other item is a white line. Separate the two black lines with a while line in between, and you have a pair of black lines. This assumes all you start with is two black lines on a piece of white paper. If you insist on making one of a pair of lines white, then the background or the sheet of media on which they lie MUST be of a contrasting color, in order to tell that the white line is not merely a space between two black lines. Imagine a pair of objects with no separation between them. Is this a pair or is it one object? Beyond the resolution limit there you see one line, not two separate lines. :-) DagT If, as Rod has most recently exposed us to, you define a line pair as two CONTIGUOUS lines, meaning adjacent to and touching each other, they MUST be of different contrast, or you wouldn't be able to distinguish that there were two of them... In Rod's supplied definition, it can indeed be a white line and a black line, sharing a common border. That's when you need the media upon which they reside to be a third shade or color.

But, stay with me now, if all you have is a piece of white paper, on which reside some straight black lines, and if you slide two of the lines together so they have a line width's of distance between them, what's in between could be a white line or it could be merely a space. Especially if they're on a white piece of paper. I'm with you, Rod. But, if you're going to define one of a pair of lines as white, and the other black, you must also decree that these line pairs NOT be displayed on a white or black surface... it has to be some other contrasting shade of color. Situation two: you have a boundary that is one millimeter in width. Within that boundary you place equal width black/white line pairs until they fit from side to side. The only parameter you can change is the individual width of each line, in order to fit more lines in the one millimeter boundary. Example: if each line is 1/4 millimeter thick/wide, you can have two line pairs in that one millimeter space. In this case, there is no space separating the lines, it's only the contrast between their shades that provides the boundary definition. So, the question arises, if the one millimeter space is constant, and all that changes is the line widths, when does a pair cease to be distinguishable as a black and white pair? When it turns gray, and you can't distinguish a boundary between black and white? Just curious... keith Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA

RE: Pairs
Some pairs are of objects that can also stand alone: Pair of hard boiled eggs. Pair of dancers. Pair of kidneys. Pair of salt pepper shakers. Pair of hunters. Some pairs are of objects that have no meaning alone: Pair of scissors. (Ever heard of one scissor?) Pair of pants. (Ever heard of one pant?) Pair of pliers. (Hand me the plier?) Whee!!!

You have lines and spaces to work with. A line pair cannot be construed to be one line one space. It's got to be two lines two spaces. One of each does not constitute a pair; two of each does. So it seems to me. keith Keith, Per your first sentnece, apparently, you've never seen a pair of pants. 8-) Larry
