Internal Horizon

Comment by NikonJeb:
It's definitely a posthumous classic! It totally failed my blast-through on the first round, and I never got back to it. Upon inspection, it has quite a few merits that I missed. I think I'll just go there.

The vertical fencebrace, and the horizontal one give this image the feel of looking through a window to outside. The horizontal one also gives me a feeling of a horizon, though false, and this horizon separates the "back forty" from the barnyard/front meadow.

There's enough detail and allusion in the image to carry the rural, and the division of the fencebraces once again, gives the entire image more volume. The clouds help.

It's a very interesting work and the B&W is a must with the shadows, textures, and division.

I like it now that I've bothered to look at it for a bit.

ETA: I just read the description and saw that my take on this without knowing it was a window was wrong, but I'll just leave it as it is. I hope you're amused!

The pic is a little dark and heavy and the sky at the top puts the composition and balance seem off - Needs a little more interest to keep us looking.

Good composition but the image looks a bit flat.

For a minute there I thought it was a big tongue slipping out to lick the face of an unsuspecting couch surfer.

Me too, proud to be adjacent neighbors in this challenge. But I think yours rates much better than mine. I guess we were a bit liberal on the interpretation of the challenge details (again) ;-)
