Does the picture appeal to you, and would you like to study it more? Do the geometric shapes and designs add another dimension to your viewing pleasure as well as the vertical, horizontal, curved, and diagonal lines?

It is said that a good picture tells a story. Do you see or feel the story either intellectually or emotionally in these images?
