To me this is Dali meets Hopper, and I love how the right side sweeps up into oblivion.

As a possible explanation to Louis - this has a sense of ethereal suspension. Somehow, Rina managed to get the animals and the wee bit of fence suspended in time, whilst all around is motion. And suspended in a wee bit of magical light as well. The "that doesn't jive" feel of having part of the photo "stopped" and the rest still moving, along with the way cool light, is I think what does it for me. But as with anytying, your mileage may vary!

No, absolutely not Louis. It's perfectly okay to disagree. Though I do think the better question to ask is, "Are you putting this forward as 'art'?". My answer of course is "No". It's just a really cool image I snagged while driving. Sometimes, there's no rhyme or reason why people like certain images more than others. Could really be anything that triggers a positive response - colour fields, light, subject matter... whatever, it's all good. I'm stoked this one piqued so much interest and I hope I can keep pulling these types of shots off in future.

Is my art appreciation sense broken? Is my critical eye half-blind? Everyone loves this, but on first viewing, it left me flat. I knew what it was -- a drive-by. I've seen some beautiful, engaging drive-bys that looked impressionistic, or surreal or dreamy, but this wasn't the best, in my view. It's merely interesting, and to be worthwhile for me, it must be more than that. It doesn't have the beautiful power of your awesome "Changes", or the impressionistic sense of your "Arpeggio", and seemed more like an exercise rather than a piece of art. I'm surprised by the reaction, but happy for you. Congrats.
