Nathan: a very interesting and a useful Elite test. I particularly like your
gnome; the narrow depth of field focusses the eye, the subtle subject-matter
diagonal imports a certain tension and in addition there is an implicit
diagonal in the light planes (from the shaded gnome to the brightly lighted
leaves. Wonderful.
