Good choice though I think, yes, looking at it flipped >it was a good choice. Thanks! I do this kind of things pretty often. Even if the reflection is perfect, it sometimes gives somewhat eerly sub- (or sur-) reality effect.

Well, although not directly, I had J.L. Borges in my mind, because he has a tremendous ability to reshape the real world with one or two sentences, that stay 'humming' in your subconscious. I love his stories that balance always between the more reliable and less reliable world, just due to his will to play with everything. "The Garden of Forking Paths" is a fine (and humming ;o) heading to a fine story. > >BTW: personal preference. Photos so nearly square as this I prefer >to be square. Never did know why.

Dunno ... just an idle thought ;o) I get Your point -- the imperfectness of expected geometrical shapes. Perhaps this is important in the overall impression, and also in the composition? If the picture was matted and framed, it would have been balanced by the measures and shape of these, I guess. Regards, Peeter
