P3D 2D first?

I can't agree with this idea...  Many shots that don't work in 2D DO work
in 3D, because the spatial element adds another degree of composition
missing in 2d... consider the inside front cover of Stereo World: in 2D,
black and white rocks look like a jumbled mess- but in 3D one can see the
individual elements. There are many examples of how a 2D image is greatly
enhanced by 3D (but of course, not those "flat stereos", George! ;))

As for the foreground tumbleweed: good stereo includes good spatial
composition- but don't stick the tumbleweed in unless it adds INTEREST to
the image, not just parallax! (on the other hand, I often have to move
stuff OUT of the way cause it's too CLOSE!)
