Very interesting response within myself to this. There is some visual conflict which is creating an unease within my body (not on conscious level). Haven't identified what it is...

I really like the repeating diagonal pattern of trees. Notice that some are darkened (too much, unless intended artistically) to be black trunks. Closest tree is centered, assume by choice. Biker adds to scene, but is very small in scale.

Did you shoot from different angles? I want to see the view from a few steps to the right...

There's nothing important about a red wheelbarrow.

Sorry.

Since you're taking requests, can you perhaps take the original shot and photoshop the close tree a little off center and the biker a little to the right?

Nevermind...just a poetry allusion not worth explaining. Note to self: no more posting after the last glass of wine.

Okay, you've got me. The poem, please, or at least a quote.

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

-William Carlos Williams, 1923

Edit: if it's still unclear, check out some commentaries here and it will become much less clear.

Thanks, Richard. Gotta love that analysis! :-)

shoots

trees

guy.

LOL! Now I want to read the deconstruction, or meta analysis, or whatever the hell that bs was that Richard posted about the red wheel barrow. Some times, a couple making out under the trees is just a couple that couldn't afford a room. ;-)

You should read John Hollander's analysis of "The Red Wheelbarrow".
Hollander, like many poetry and photography critics, seems to feel that
pretentiousness to the extreme is necessary to establish oneself as a
critic.
