  “The image has some indefinable ‘past’ quality”. – Now do you say this because you think you have to say it or because you notice a quality in the picture which you want to give a name to.
    All right I dont ask you to define it as I don't ask you to define ‘blue’ either.
Let's hear how you are going to use the word for this quality, then I'll know in what sense it is a quality. (Is it, e.g., like size, shape, or colour?)
