Glossy fashion mag assertion:

Tall, slim and leggy is the most attractive.

Glossy fashion mag advice:

(a) High heels lengthen the leg and make you taller.
(b) Short Skirts make legs look longer.
(c) Control corsets make you look slimmer.

Therefore,  a+b+c = Taller, slimmer, leggier look

Accordingly, a+b+c = most attractive*

Change of Season



Sometimes it is important to give context to the focus of the image.  The buildings here are nearly out of the frame but they are of the utmost importance to this image as they allow the understanding of the scale of the clouds, the promote the contemplation of the softness in the cloud light because of their hard edges and geometric shapes and they prevent the attention of the viewer from wandering off the bottom right edge of the image by providing a block and perspective lines guiding the attention back to the cloud front and allowing it to linger long enough to pick out the moon.  F4 was enough to keep the moon and the buildings in focus.
