Rick ... your point that 3D does not necessarily make a good or great pic is absolutely correct. So is your point that many good / great pics do not exhibit any 3D ... again, absolutely correct. But this particular thread is not about good or great pics ... it is about 3D.
This would be no different than having a Selective Focus thread or a foreshortening thread and saying that Selective Focus or foreshortening does not necessarily make a good pic ... the point is correct, but is misaligned with the thread.
The Suede ... I absolutely agree that the emotive aspect of the viewer comes in to play. Additionally, I believe that the individual viewer\'s pre-programmed perspective of scale for an object / scene comes in to play as well. There have been several instances where I have seen a pic that did NOT look 3D-ish, but then when cropped to a certain amount ... it came alive. Then when cropped even further, it went away. Viewing distance can be a factor as well. The number of attributes involved here are many, and I find them to be quite worthwhile for noting & discussing.
There is not a SINGLE component that makes a pic 3D-ish ... it is much more involved than that.
Glad you liked the pics.
