Gritty and expressionistic abstraction could be a winner in this challenge. One of the few that I think qualify.

Probing the mind of the canine - so much to ponder - what could it all mean? Maybe all it really wants is a lick. Visually stimulating dichotomy.

This is such an oddly (for me) captivating piece of what - nostalgia - I think, although I'm not from there nor have ever been there (Dover I guess). The high vantage point and gone horizon line are deliciously modern but the collection of visual elements retain the (carefully constructed) look of the pastoral in olden times - say, 19th century, to pick one. Its a greatly sensitive eye that saw this and fed a mind that responded in that little corner of the retained collective consciousness that we (or some of us) can be made to well up and share if only with ourselves.
