Love the confined box within the frame.

Well deserved accolade for a thought provoking image. I am glad to see you told the story of the day. In the end, it is all about the story.

I love the breadth of the exposure, it has the quality of a slow tech pan film I love. I am especially partial to the contrast in texture; organically weathered wood along side the smoothness of the rope. I am not as sold with the composition of the overall image. The angled piece of rope in the forefront is nice as is the tied in the rear. The even wrapped pieces in focus...how would it look slanted on an angle while keeping the focus as it is? Is "used" a take on the weathered wood and pieces of rope?

The image captures the intent of the challenge perfectly; evokes movement in its composition and focus. More importantly, the image tells a story and gives us a glimpse into the soul. Thank you!
