This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 8s - I like it. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Bold. Feels thoughtful. I know that you knew this would get hammered. I like that you believed in it.

2. The low contrast works for me - it pushes me out of the scene, I can see but can't be seen - the effect is one of making the viewer a ghost.

3. The every-day casualness of the scene, adding oodles of authenticity.

Overall, purposefully understated in a way that brings its own effectiveness.

I wanted to say: "Life is a horse race, and you're your own jockey."

But then I read it back to myself and realised that from the other side of the coin it is: Oh. Herman is calling me a horse, is he?" or "Does my lawn look like turf to him" etc. Lawsuit written all over it.

So I'll just say that the hand brought a flash to me of a jockey flying towards the post.
