Contrast a little overrated in pp. Still a great shot

Grand. In the thumbnail, I thought there was a face hiding behind the light, but seeing that it is the sun behind clouds, I'm wrong, but not disappointed.

What really makes this (aside from the coloring) is the change in texture of the cloud shapes which seem more flowing and dynamic on the left and static and unmoving on the right. Pretty good stuff!

I don't even really know for sure what I'm looking at, but I think I like what I see. It could be pennies tossed in the air, or microorganisms under a microscope. I could be looking from pretty much any vantage point in any direction. It makes me feel ungrounded and uncertain about where I actually am.

So that's pretty much got it exactly right then.

Interesting choice for the challenge. Absolutely no way to tell if this shot is wide angle or telephoto.

Right off this reminded me of one I took a while ago ... in comparison to your picture I chose to create a more "colorful" (but perhaps less realistic-looking) version, and I used the circular vignette to try and give the impression of a micro-photograph. Otherwise, you did a nice job capturing the details and textures.

I like where you were going with this. I think some simplification of the scene would have sent this over the top. Removing the left hand side of the photo and focusing on the two objects would have been brilliant, simple and mundane! The joint in the wall adds clutter and doesn't strengthen the image. The composition would then have been light at the top and dark at the bottome to anchor the photo with the two shapes in the middle somewhere to add interest.
