Yes, I know what the image is Dana, and how it gets onto the print is
critical to how it communicates with the viewer - and therefore how
'interesting' it is (to that viewer), or perhaps 'engaging' might be a
better term for what I mean.

Agreed - and none of this contradicts my original point.  When I speak of
"interesting images", I mean, the thing on the print that people look at.

How the image got onto the print doesn't change a thing - it's either
interesting or it isn't.
