Dichotomy
I created the image below deliberately. See if it causes your eye as much tension as it does mine. I almost threw it out, thinking it was so annoying to look at, until I reminded myself that a good photograph is one that draws attention. Click to see it at a larger size (and be sure that the entire image can be viewed at once). Update: several readers have emailed, indicating that it doesn’t cause their eyes any visual tension. We are all “wired” differently, which is why we might all react to the same image in different ways—a good thing I believe.
