Yes indeed, and I am sure Mike was exploring just that. However, I think 
this works best when there are no obvious "highlights" imposing themselves 
in the first pace, one can then choose where to put the spotlight so to 
speak. It reminds me of the chiaroscura technique where this can be done in 
interesting ways. The recent contribution by Lightbeam (Julia) comes also to 
mind.
