More about art nouveau study five, part two

This is part two of looking at only the effect of style on the outcome of an image. This is the second 'coffee bean' style I've been working with where the two notable differences in the style are that, style one has a broader range of colors and textures (it covers the coffee lifecycle from flower to bean), while the second has all of the beans in the same place and 'touching' in a sense, as in the beans were all actually in the same scene when it was photographed. While style two doesn't have the internal complexity of style one, the fact that the beans were all in the same scene (not edited to make one style) has a very interesting effect, in that a much more organic set of relationships is able to exist between regions of a stylized dream: specifically, the model appears to understand how to draw the region where two different types of beans are adjacent. While style one perhaps has a better range of colors and patterns, I think style two makes more interesting dreams, because depending on the weighting, they actually look like they 'could' be made by arranging coffee beans in this way or that. In general, style one lacks this quality, which I think is a preferred quality for a high quality dream.
