Effective Distortion

A rooster is spiky and aggressive, witless and LOUD.  Pablo Picasso stressed those qualities exclusively when he made this drawing:


Some of the streets in San Francisco are so steep, you feel you may tip over backwards driving a truck up one of them.  This street painted by Wayne Thiebaud is as precipitous as a waterfall; you would tip over backwards if you tried to go up it.



My entry here is a picture of a wave which, if you were close to it, might send a thrill of fear through you as it rose to unnatural height.


It isn't easy to get it right.  Failed attempts abound, but I prefer to seek out successes; so far in my own work I can only identify this one.
