In general, I find links rather distracting, but here they are used in a very useful way to supply more information on the topic rather than just lead the reader off on a tangent.

For example, do you know that the Athena's Parthenon, although it seems to be perfectly balanced, it is not? It's irregular. "Entasis refers to the slight bulge of the columns as they rise, though the observable effect on the Pathenon is considerably more subtle than on earlier temples with their noticeably cigar-shaped columns. It is not univerally agreed what the intended effect of these 'optical refinements' was; it is often suggested that it was to enliven what might have appeared an inert mass in the case of a building without curves, but the comparison ought to be with the Parthenon's more obviously curved predecessors than with a notional rectangular temple." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenon Hey, good job, what a lecture… it has to do with the perception of equilibrium that human beings have.

Very creative. It served as a good review for me. Also, thanks for the Digital Photography School link. I found some very useful info here! Eisa,
