[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 126698, member: 237"] Very good observation, [B]Rove[/B]. And I'll back up what you are saying from the viewpoint of somebody who lives in Texas: Look at the first picture-- Bradford May captures the "feel" of Texas. Notice the small details such as the lumps under the blanket. This is no studio backlot, with a perfectly smooth area to lay out the blanket. This is an actual working ranch, with imperfections such as lumps of grass under the blanket. Look at the second picture-- again, Bradford captures the "feel" of a wealthy Texas home. Notice the shading, the indirect light on the side of the spiral staircase, and the hardwood floor. These are things you might not notice one by one, but they combine to give the feel of a real home, with real people living in it. Now, on to the third picture-- this has an artificial feel to it. You can easily imagine that if they pull the camera back a few feet, it will expose the studio lighting overhead. I think if Barbara Bell Geddes lost her balance and bumped into the wall, then it would knock the wall over and you could see them filming "The Price is Right" on the other side. I don't know the reason for the sudden switch, but you did a fine job figuring out exactly when the changes became noticable. [/QUOTE]
