But it is disconcerting to physically go against received learning which is to place the subject/object in the foreground and in focus, instead of the reverse. I think Gestalt theories might play a part, hadn't thought about that.JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243258284239690090.post-69154231151900861062012-01-23T09:32:42.945+00:002012-01-23T09:32:42.945+00:00I'm finding it especially useful following you...I'm finding it especially useful following your blog posts as they are increasing my own learning as well. I'm wondering about the 50% rule which surely has some meaning - maybe it gives foreground and background equal spaces for the eye to move around. Some people might focus on the background whilst others might spend more time attempting to work out the foreground figure. Obviously ones eye muscles are moving in different ways for this. A gestalt theory might be included here perhaps.<br /><br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
