More evident and clean, you say... hmmm, I have to think on that observing the photo again.
But I already agree with you. Why does a photo has to be rectangular? Why not round or a triangle or any "unorthodox" shape? Indeed it seems that the viewfinder's "window to the world" is burned up in our minds too deeply.
But another thing has to do with that! It is perhaps the deeper reason why the viewfinder itself was made rectangular. Rectilinearity seems so natural to human thought. (Think of length, brighth, height, they are straight coordinate lines that intersect in angles of 90° or pi/2 if you wish. Isn't it interesting to find how much depends on our somehow built in understanding of the world? Should we have some other kind of understanding, we would perhaps find any othe shape for limiting the view area of a photography quite as natural. But this orthogonality seems to be such a strong influence!
Ciao Giuseppe!

Probably, Nick, you miss a piece of the composition you have studied while shooting. But more, I think: you and me are used to see in the viewfinder, to compose, to prepare for the stamp and keep stamped pictures strictly in rectangular form. The computer has changed this rule but not our heads. For you and for me a picture not perfectly rectangular is odd. Isn't it?

I don't know what you think about but I prefer this image where the geometrical pattern is more evident and cleaned.
Thanks Nick.
Ciao.

Oops, here comes the attached cropped version according to Giuseppes (merciless ;-) ) scissors!

Crooped the stones at the bottom. |

Thank you for the nice comments and also for the scissors, Giuseppe! It is always nice to have the unnecessary/disturbing parts cut off! So you mean it like in the attached version (more or less)? Well, it then enhances the spiral even more, but I have the impression that something is missing. Perhapy because of I got used to see the photo as I shot it, though. Any other opinions, out there?
Thank you very much again!
Nick

Good eye Nick.
I can't help taking the scissors for the last line of square stones disturbing my eyes. Excuse me!
