the sum

[tonymidd]

of the parts is greater than the whole.
A dictum that was drilled into me years ago and this is a classic example...

oh wow, now i love those, each photo takes a bit of time to kinda suss where your at with it, what it is compositionwise. Cracking images.

Interestingly enough, I set myself a project a couple of night ago to see how many images I could derive from a single photo I took at the weekend. Started because I couldn't decide how to crop a picture. Anyway, I got bored and had a beer instead :-)
