Re: [photo-3d] SI 3D

I picked up a copy yesterday at one of the Savon drugstores here in Burbank
(they had six).  A friend of mine bought the other five.

One comment.  I was dismayed by the text on the cover.  The choice of
parallaxes ruined what otherwise would have been a very striking photograph.
The paddle in the picture appeared to be cut off, because the nearby text
destroyed the depth perception of the splashing water in between (the water
was closer than the paddle, partially obscuring it).  I am sure that it
appeared that way in the original photograph.

But, with the text being pushed back behind the water splash, this visually
pushed the splash back behind the paddle, resulting in the weird cutoff
effect.
