This just reminds me of all the hardness many Icelanders have gone through in the past. The everlasting struggle against the ocean, bad weathers, cold winters... it all seems so much easier now!

Compositionally, this follows the rules and breaks them all at one time. It feels "centered," yet, the picture is divided into thirds at the same time. By placing the subject on the upper third, it gives the shot a lot of "motion" because the eyes start in the lower part and go up into the frame.

Technically, the exposure focus and bw tones are near perfect, I think. This makes a wonderful bw image.

If this challenge was "Rope" or "Things at the Ocean" you probably would have scored much higher. I think the fact that you got 46 votes of 6 or over for a shot that does not meet the challenge speaks very well of the quality of the photograph.

Nice work. If I need to further clarify or explain anything, please let me know.

i like the leading line. i wish the other wiring wasn't there as it seems to distract from an old time feel

Can you imagine if that rope had been a chain, then it would of met the challenge and been a higher than average shot. but, I am a DNMC nazi, so gonna mark you down for that. 3
