OK, force my hand. It's nothing to do with light/dark. The subject doesn't push 
any of my buttons, just one of those I 
blink at and pass by.

Doesn't mean it's good or bad, just not interesting to me. I've really learned 
about that, sitting and watching people 
go through my photo books, sometimes chatting about the book, sometimes just 
watching them turn the pages.

Nobody likes all the same images. One person will just flip past an image that 
caused another to cry out. I thought one 
in the first book, out of 100, was a complete failure. No one spent more than a 
second looking at it. Then a friend 
stopped at it, talked about how it affected her in a choked voice and was 
crying.

Ya gotta just go with your own instinct.
