Hello James,
Thank you for more examples.

If I understood the Patrick's code right, it works as:
1. The (map isInteresting ...) returns lazy sequence of true/false
values for each pixel (true for interesting pixel)
2. The (filter identity ...) returns a lazy sequence of only true
values from the above
3. The (take-while belowCount ...) will return items of lazy sequence
while the predicate "belowCount"
holds. This implies that the predicate would have to be stateful
(i.e. increment a counter
on each invocation and return false when this counter == count-I-
am-interested-in . So the
take-while "stops" once the count is reached
4. the result of (count ...) would be compared with count-I-am-
interested-in and if ==, the image is
"interesting"

The large sequence should not be a problem for this particular
application.

Cheers, I will try to code different variants, see how fast they are,
+ report back at some point with the findings.
Kind regards,
Vlad
