Leslie Dahl, Alberta, CA - Art Haiku

Comment by Roderick Stewart: Great idea in the constructing of the image with this particular haiku. The image extends the meaning of the haiku. Coloured subject against an uncoloured background brings the alone-ness of the haiku to the fore and gives great depth to the image. There are a few flaws in this image that could be fixed to improved it: 1) too much compression--see the unrefined edges of the text and kite. The article "Artefacts" contains information about this flaw; 2) the too spatially predominant use of mattes/borders.
