Waterscape 1

Artist's self-deprecation aside, the composition presents an air of uncertain stillness. The time lapse of this photo, along with the granularity, enhances this feeling. Naturally being a black and white presentation, the subtle tones of woe seem to float down the Rhine as if the camera caught echoes of moans long ago.

The streak in the upper left-hand corner adds character as well as the motion blur from the floating piece of rubbish (or whatever) near the center.

Finally, the perspective of distance from the shoreline to the moon is quite a powerful thing to contemplate when looking at this: how the moon dictates the motion of the tides, how the Rhine is subservient to math, and makes the piece that much more "still" than time lapsed.
