I had an epiphany this morning. Photos, paintings, quilts; all come to life when light is the main ingredient.
A picture is flat no matter how well composed if light doesn't infuse it.
The eye hungers for deep shadow, and is drawn to strong highlight.
It may be all about the subject, but light is the messenger.
Very true! I've learned that in photography.
