Very nice and interesting post. You bring up a good point. I find this subject very interesting as it deals with human psychology and how we interpret things.
I think this knowledge is important in order to get the right impact when people see your images. In the same time that scale offers an interpretation, contrast can offer focalization in art or photography and can make a huge difference.
Just like in life if there is not a contrast we have nothing to compare to and thus we can not understand or appreciate something. Much like a spoiled kid that gets whatever he points on will find himself depressed and bored later because he has no contrast to how it could be to really have to fight for these things and how hard they can be to come by.
It's the first time I see such a huge leaf. I wonder how many rhubarb pies you could make with those ones in the picture ? My grandma used to make me rhubarb pie a lot when I was younger maybe I will plant one of these big boys in her back yard to see her reaction hehe .
What a great comment! It's even longer than my post and so I will upvote it as such! Yes rhubarb pies are awesome!
Wow !! Thank you so much :) I usually don't write such long comments but because the post struck a cord with me it just kind of poored out like that :)
A giant rhubarb pie was the first thing I thought of when seeing that photo as well. I'm sure we'd all love to demonstrate the scale of our appetites in relation to a giant rhubarb pie.
