I wanted to follow-up on the last post with an illustration of the perceptual impact of subtle changes in composition. If you focus on the urchin (the spherical element) in the bottom right area of these two images, you will see the subtle shift in the position of the element. The first image shows the urchin encroaching on the golden braid. The second image, has the urchin placed so that it is not overlapping. Of course, overlap is a key cue for depth perception, so it is not surprising that the different placements suggest differences in "depth". I ultimately chose the placement in the second image, as I think it elicits the perception that "looks better" to me (and I hope, to the viewer). The bottom image is the completed collage (with the blue element adjusted to the horizontal).
