Thanks (cropped it like that on purpose)

I thought so, but why? What was your reason for doing so?

Yeah, they're good. But don't put too much honey (like in the picture ). I cropped it like that because a normal crop would just be a picture of a plate of food, but by cutting off a little it creates dissonance and makes you look longer, with your brain wanting completion.

Actually, it did... thus the initial question. I didn't mean people would sit and consciously contemplate about it for hours (or even minutes, or seconds). But the mind decodes data by looking for patterns it has seen before. If it's something completely new, it tries to manage meaning and make it make sense (not always successfully). If it's something kind of familiar (like a plate of food) but doesn't easily fit, it wonders, get's agitated, or whatever, making it ask, "I wonder why it doesn't do X?"

Dang......I meant to give you 5 thumbs up and forgot. I will do this on another of your photos OK?!

That's fine, thanks... I don't really care about thumbs ups.

Another question might be - why?

Thanks you 2 for all this, as it is the most interresting conversation I've read here for a long time, and congrats for your wins

But you already showed appreciation above. (and, thanks, Zizounai)

Awwww that is a cop out

Not really. I told you that I really don't care about Thumbs ups. You just didn't believe me.
