Closure - one of the Gestalt Principles. Closure happens when an image is incomplete. When a partial image is seen people perceive the whole by filling in the missing information on their own.

Honda 500 Four
Shadetree Mechanic
Doing some work on the bike. My old Dodge Shadow Turbo behind. Scan of old photo. Almost SOOC.
There's a "zig-zag" in this photo that I like.

Queensboro Bridge - P&S camera, edited and uploaded using the iPad
My desktop died a few weeks ago. My Laptop died shortly after that.
I bought an iPad recently. This image was downloaded to it and edited on it and uploaded from my iPad.
The Queensboro Bridge as seen from the Bentley hotel. Spanning the East River... More at the Wiki...
Update:
Re-edited from a "real" computer...
You see, it is VERY difficult to upload tags, groups, and other data from the Flickr app. It's impossible to edit anything but add tags from the web pages using the iPad. Add the image to the map? If the image doesn't have the GPS data in the file, you can't do it.
It's about time for a better flickr app for sure, and the ability to use the full web page interface on the iPad.
For some reason I don't know....it didn't upload the full size image. Also the date taken is changed. Oh, and the camera is listed as the iPhone instead of the Olympus 1030SWw I used. Apparently Apple or the app I used doesn't know how to retain EXIF info properly? Oh yeah...checking EXIF... No shutter or aperture or ANYTHING! WTF?
This image was slightly adjusted for exposure and sharpened a little. I added a border. No other editing. Almost, SOOC...

The painting on the fuel tank of my 1989 Honda Hawk GT NT650. A good warning, or a way of life?
