You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
I like the effect too, and especially if the original was blurred or flawed in some way..This way you get to preserve some of the beauty taken in the light and shadow without sacrificing a thing...lovely.
