Interesting that most of you are keen not to overload the readers brains. Almost all of you state x% left(or right) and 100-x % right(or left). But by saying x% left/right it already is clear that the right/left percentage has to be 100 - x %. (And that I figured out on spinal cord alone!)

Ah..but are you allowing for the standard of mathematics teaching in (English) schools these days

Ah!
Just like Don suggested when I asked about "The Artistic Eye". Shame I didn't take his advice and find a subject just outside the house and concentrate on getting useful shots of it

Looks like I'll have to now

The quiz comes out 65% left brained, but I had the left thumb up (i.e. right brained) (though I hold the pen like A (left brained)).
I think holding a PhD in physics would indicate right brained?
Wasn't left brained the maths / physics / logical side?

I'm confused now...my whole brain hurts

Both of those example re-inforce the left brain for me. I clapsed my hands before reading the solution and was right thumb on top.

I hold my pen as in pic C.

The lady...weird one that. I immediately thought she was facing me, thensub-conciously, started to analyse it and thought she could be facing away, then convinced myself she was facing away...all in about 2 seconds

Let's face it...I'm just a mixed up kinda guy!

One other point. I use my left eye for the viewfinder, but shoot ( bow and arrow ) right eyed.

Oh, and macro photography doesn't tickle my interest at all. I wanted to try the sort of vistas that Simonkit is so good at....but I'm not ...yet

D'you know..I never thought about which eye I use until I read this. I am right handed but left eyed, with a camera, but right eyed with my bow

I tend to hold the camera right hand down, but that is because I tend to have a hat on and right hand up knocks my hat off

OK..now I'm confused.

In the quiz I am 60% left 40% right. And the expanation pretty much matches me ( I think ).

But, for the love of me, I can only make the lady turn clockwise...which says I'm right sided

My favourite subjects being maths and physics, I should have seen her going counter-clockwise.

Mrs Ted managed to make it change direction, and she's the more artistic of the pair of us.

I agree with you on number 4, I love the texture of the ice, but I prefer number 3 for a picture of the fog.
