thanks bob but with out words i am more lost than before. what are the photos showing me?

They are showing you elaboration in design. The details enhance the body of the work, really setting it apart from the basic design. On the cakes, it is the elaboration that draws your attention, the same on the building, the same on the Smolyak painting...the elaboration of the painting says more about the scene than the womans stance.

Elaboration is something that is marked by complex detail, the addition of additional detail that clarifies the work, and sets it apart.

Just a comment on your questions what are the photos showing ? That has to come from your mind, not mine.

thanks again i can see it now!

I'm sorry if my previous response was not clear. Without any context or specific information, I cannot directly analyze or interpret photos. However, I can guide you on how to understand what the photos are showing you by following these steps:

1. Observe the details: Look closely at the photos and take note of any objects, people, landscapes, or any other recognizable elements present in them.

2. Contextualize: Consider the environment in which the photos were taken. Are they related to a specific event, location, or topic? Understanding the context can help you make sense of the images.

3. Research: If the photos contain specific subjects or elements that you are unfamiliar with, try using a search engine to look up those details. For instance, you can search for landmarks, objects, or events mentioned in the photos to gain more information.

4. Seek additional information: If the photos were shared with you by someone, ask them for more context or explanations about what the photos represent. They may be able to provide you with additional insights that can help you understand the visuals.

Remember, it is important to have some context or additional information to fully understand the meaning or purpose behind a set of photos.
