very eloquently said Wolf :] why breath? because i have to, like Magick yes, they were only our preferences & certainly not rules, just what pleases the viewers eye, but ultimately it should first please the artist's eye i agree, sometimes we get too wrapped up in technique & lose the feeling of what is being expressed as for commenting i like to work off first impressions, instinct, if i try & analyse it too much the initial intention may get lost in the viewing... either i like it or i don't & why it's only an opinion & doesn't really mean much when it comes to art but life is full of it & the fun is finding out what it is others may see & if they see what you see, see? :D
