For me you picked the right one Rod. Seat is just that bit "off the wall" and holds my focus much longer.

Not true, mate. Variety adds spice and there's lots of high quality here (even yours :-)) as well as some rubbish.. even mine. Frankly, the palms makes me want to look again and again. It has intimate qualities from the way you have placed the trees almost nestling up to each other. "Seat" has just the opposite quality - the right bumping into the left starting to cut off the tree as if to crowd it out. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for its brand of bully tension. -tv

You have enough good shots of your own to put on your walls, you don't need our rubbish:-) Thanks mate:-)

The palm picy has some real charm. It looks like they are shyly holding hands.. er.. fronds. It's really quite good. Actually better than "Seat". That means I could spend a lot of time with the palms on my wall. "Seat" would have to be separated. -tv

Thanks Tommy:-) I'm glad to see you're picking up the tension between these shots:-) The left shot is for the girls & the right one for the blokes:-) The other shot I had to choose from was a palm tree but I went for the seat shot for something less balanced.
Here's the palm picy

I'm trying to think of something very incisive to say. but I can't. So, I'll just take a stab: the right is too weighty and squared to balance well or play against the left. Both images are well executed and easy to look at, but as a pair... maybe if they were both squared with the frame. I dunno. -tv

Thanks Debi:-) You didn't mention me duo tone border that me missus thinks I invented & she's very proud of me:-)

Thanks Gerry mate:-) Me mastery of borders has got me out of cooking for two nights straight, all I have to do is keep me mouth shut for a record third night wivout cooking:-)

Bugger Rod you just popped in a stunner but of course it would be, I still detect a bit of sand in the pics. :)
The different coloured separator and border is very manly!
