I find it confusing that both step-by-step sequences demonstrate left-handed bowlines. The main picture of the article is of a right-handed bowline. It might make sense to Left-Right flip these photographs for the sake of clarity.

(As a child, I had learned to tie bowlines one-handed around my waist. A right-handed effort matches the bowlines you commonly see in illustrations and photographs.) Has anybody ever seen in print or online these "left-handed" knots? To be more politically correct, you could call them "Bowlines of opposite chirality." I think it would improve the article if they were brought in line with standard bowlines. --NeonGeniuses (talk) 17:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
