Hey, I just submitted a zoomed-in nature pic to p.b.i.  I must have put you
over the limit.  hehe  But to add validity to your observation, I had
essentially used focal blur just to avoid doing something "useful", like
adding an entire background.  But even so, you don't want to let the rest of
the image overpower the foreground, or it ends up looking very busy.  I
don't think that was your point, though.

"Forced significance" states the situation quite well, I think.  That sort
of thing made my wife HATE the movie "Titanic" whereas I enjoyed it
immensely.  I think I see your point.  Feel free to rant more if you want.
You often have a fresh perspective.
