Following from part three, here we examine the same subject and style, at 120% scaling. While its clear that the matching between the flowers of subject and style is not as tight on this image, the subject flowers are still pulling on that component of the style; they do not appear as well formed. In the broader, more continuous regions of color, the 120% scale did well at placing realistic style elements, such as the red beans in the center right of the result. There is a somewhat higher degree of smearing at the edges; one might suppose that the style is a bit too large to fit into the border.

Its clear from this study that there isn't a panacea that can be applied to relate style scale to subject. Styles applied at any scales will perform in well in some regions of a subject and not others. Smearing appears to be related to larger, unstructured areas of images. Smearing also appears to occur when a style feature can't 'fit' into a subjects feature. Finally, style relationships also appear to be effected by scale. Depending on the scale of the applied style, different elements of that selected style will be applied to a given region. This effect alone may warrant further study.
