Noontime coffee bump for the weekday people since it went up on the weekend

There are things to like in it, but they're quite slim. It's a moderately interesting texture, with a moderately interesting lighting pattern on it. I wonder what the point is, and then I see the dimples/marks on the wall and I think "aha!" and then I ponder a bit more, and they're still not pulling anything together for me.

While it's clear what it is, it's too abstract to really be a commentary on suburbia or whatever else gets associated with metal siding.

As an abstract I don't think it leaves enough doors open for the imagination to play.

So, we're back at a mildly appealing pattern of material and light, with some mildly interesting dimples, that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Hey Andrew, I'd have to say that what drew me to take the shot was the white and the lines, I was at a farm waiting while Mr. Rabbit ran in to grab some tractor parts and their trailer was sitting there, it was a very nice trailer, well taken care of, fairly new so nothing special or to really comment on. I wanted to isolate just the horizontals and it started to mess with my eyes as I composed it. I couldn't find a "perfect" spot so I went with an imperfect one and made it a little more imperfect by stepping to the side.
So no commentary was intended which is likely why you can't find one, is that a bad thing? I'm not sure but I don't think so.

I do enjoy this concept very much, things that mess with your eyes a little, things that make you look twice because your brain can't quite resolve it, this is what this shot is about for me. I tried to balance the abstract lines with the corner that breaks it, I'll definitely have to play with this more as I find different subjects, luckily we are surrounded by imperfections

I think we all strive to get people to look at our pictures for longer than the quick glance it takes to decide whether it is worth spending more time on it or not. How many images do we see on a daily basis that just skim through our visual stream? "meh a flower/bug/bridge/kid/etc..." only to immediately click next. With shots like these I'm relying on the mild visual discomfort I get when I look at them, is that a cheap way to make people stop and look? Perhaps it is.
