![[blue bag stuck in tree on right side is something no painter would include; a small piece of (unintended) reality; is this type of flaw related to Barthes's "punctum" (punctuation)?]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Overall-density/i-4gDPj49/0/33964c26/Ti/very_sharp_satur_5-Ti.jpg)

![[usually I'm trying to get as flat an effect as possible; here the persimmons appear somewhat in 3D, which appears okay for this photo]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Overall-density/i-Qs8JVRw/0/9f061198/Ti/20709692108_fd1120d7b9_o%20%281%29-Ti.jpg)
