I really like this image but I couldn't say why. It was helpful reading Ubique's fabulous comment.

yes, more random than randomness, this is what Max Ernst was going for.

I like very much the sparsity of this image reinforced by its title, but it does not satisfy me enough. I like probably the idea and composition more than the final result.

Perfect alignment. The colors, composition, edgy details... IDK, it all works for me.

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.

The oddness of this is its most compelling quality.

Interesting juxtaposition. Wonder why the half-a-sheep...nevertheless, I am fascinated by that trail at the cliff edge.

In nearly every respect I'm quite taken by this, but I find myself disappointingly distracted by the fence post in the sheep's jugular :-(

I've never seen a picture of a sheep and a boat before. I may have seen a boat and a sheep in the same picture somewhere but that's not the same thing at all. The things I like best about this picture are the odd-couple juxtaposition, the yin-yang graphic dimension (which is especially cleverly and subtly done), the fact that sheep and boat are headed in opposite directions, and the fact that one of them is fast approaching being excluded from the picture while the other is already halfway gone. It's in the spirit of the Dadaists, without resorting to adolescent nonsense. The things I like least about the picture are... nil. It's a picture I could look at quite often, and yet not grow intolerably tired of it. Thank you.

If the sheep wasn't there, I would vote this higher.
