Great shot and full of story. I like how you have turned a rather common subject and one of labour into something opposite. The detail of the fabric texture is great and the exposure is perfect. As good as its gets...excellent:-)
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
Lol, facinating subject :P
Though surprisingly, it actually looks very effective...you have turned a simple, household object into a work of art, well done!!!
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”

You put the subject, prosaic as it is at exactly the right spot to emphasize it, and your use of black and white brought out the excellent job you did of focusing and exposing this image. The textures on the cloth, the peg, and the rope really pop.
Back when you uploaded this one I thought how beautiful it was, and I marvelled at how highly the members valued it. You had a very high c-index as I recall. I have to wonder now about the c-index. Your image is still just as beautiful, yet the c-index is ridiculously low. What gives?
Superb capture here. Shows the simplicity of life and photography in general. Some of the best shots can come from everyday items and routines AEB this shot!!! Excellent in B+W.
