I have helped load cattle out of similar looking chutes in the past, and it's always worrisome. I've seen 'em break out the side, go over the top, and throw all manner of fits because they don't wanna go into the trailer, and it can make for a long day if you have a bunch of them like that. Nice shot!
First of all the colors and contrast are crisp and clean and captures the attention right off the bat. Second the subject is intriguing for sure but for some reason the angle and perspective looks 'ajar' to my mind.The background beauty distracts from the subject in my wee little minds opinion Jen:)Maybe a view from the left or right sides would have worked better but then that would have taken the main subject out of the direct line of sight which I can understand is why you probably snapped this shot from this angle in the first place. Oh, well. I'll go now but I really do like it overall but would prefer to see it my way:):) LOL!! Thanks Jen.
Jen - A 3-D effect in this image that is excellent. Angled lighting and resulting shadows is terrific. I think of a dock that once allowed a jump into a now-dry lake. Thad
