One thing you have helped me see, Chip, is they way our eyes seem to enjoy traveling around a photo. Too much activity is distracting. To little is boring. I've discovered that when my eyes are moving at the pace of a stroll is when I enjoy a photo the most. Strolling with these. Photo #1: I especially like the way the bold white lines leads your eye off the "page" but the dashed lines draw you back. That back and forth movement is a pleasure. Photo #2: I really like the sense of foreground with lighter lines and background with the slight DOF that blurs the diagonal lines. It's kind of hynotic. Sweet!
