writing adventurous description part 2

In writing adventurous description part 1 I looked at the way that two famous writers use adventurous description to describe major cities.
What if they are like a couple of intrepid literary explorers who have explored all the possibilities for writing adventurous description and, saddle-sore and weary, have arrived at the conclusion that it can only be used to describe major cities?
Let’s explore the possibilities for ourselves, but let’s try to use it in situations other than  describing major cities. After all, how often do most writers have to describe major cities? What we want are everyday situations, the kind of situations that occur at some point in most stories and novels, in the kind of stories that we probably tend to write.
At some point we will certainly have to describe the characters in our stories, so let’s see if we can apply adventurous description to describing characters.
Conventional description: Cally was tall rugged and broad shouldered; adventurous description: Cally was a towering cliff. Conventional description: Susie was petite and anxious; adventurous description: Susie was an anxious elf.
As I warned in part 1, adventurous description might be too obtuse for some readers, and it could be that these examples are too obtuse. On the other hand they are pretty original and creative, and your readers might value this, they might value you more as a writer because you are obviously original and creative.
To summarise, it can be fun to write adventurous description, depending on your attitude towards it as a writer - whether you find it fun, but it can also be risky.
