[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1149159, member: 1683"] Okay my friends! I think that here is an opportunity for a little thought provoking 'handbook' discussion on [b][u][i]perpective perception in the observation of pictures! Improper perception is very often deceptive.[/i][/u][/b] What one sees, or [i]thinks [/i] they see is often [b]not[/b] what they get,- or think they get! Case in point here: Look [b][i]very[/i][/b] carefully at this bulls picture. "Perspective Observation" is the art of picturing objects or a scene in such a way by converging lines (which is [b]linear perspective), as to show them as they [i]appear[/i] to the eye with reference to relative distance, or in this bull's case, length of his body. If you will observe the way the bull is holding his head, he is looking to his right (the same side that we are observing), and in so doing the point of his right shoulder is effaced from the surface of his body. In other words, you can't see the point of his shoulder, therefore it [i]appears[/i][/b] to the eye that his body is [i]longer[/i] than it really is! Deception! That is why it is not wise to make selection decisions on pictures [b]ALONE![/b] (But - he is a good looking bull - phenotypically - anyhow)! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
