    The most obvious stitching artifact is on the right side of the egg.
    That is also where it makes sense (given the location.
    I see less point in keeping much of the right side of the image: those OOF trees don't add much for me.

    I agree about the trees.

    Something like this with a natural frame is more interesting for me.

    Agreed. The trees don't add anything for me either. They were part of the original sweep that gave the panorama that created the Daliesque stitching errors so I left them in and gave plenty of clues about why I was posting an image with photographic errors.

    Well, I wouldn't find it interesting. It's the cliche shot that turns up over and over in photos of Dali's house. So what's the point of posting another? There were enough clues in the first of my Dali posts and again in the second post along with a Dali sculpture.

    That's fine 😊

    As Rich42 correctly stated at:

    Just because you deliberately left in errors that you personally like does not mean everyone else must find them interesting or like them.

    Of course, but you need to be discussing the posted image and considering what those errors mean to the image.
    Let's take your shots of Half Moon Bay this week. I grew up on that beach. Those angles from the Beach Rd car park are also some of Melbourne's regular cliches. But what you did with them with colour patches stopped them from becoming cliches. That's good. Your adding colour patches technique sometimes comes off. It did in the pagoda image (although you seemed to indicate that we were seeing things in the image that you hadn't intended.) I could only see one reason for the changes you made with the Half Moon Bay shots and that was to help the Cerberus stand out more from the ocean. It didn't seem to be a point worth making so I didn't bother. I might have missed something deeper?

    And that is what I did but you seem to struggle with the fact that what the errors in the image mean to you is not necessarily what the errors mean to everyone else.

    I can only talk about what the errors mean to me, as I did. I don't need to speculate what other people might think of them. They can form their own opinions and post about them if they like.

    I've moved several posts out of here as they were getting too contentious for my liking.
