Reminds me of old, old photos in albums. They sometimes crack after a bit or get torn with handling. Like old hand tools one finds in tag sales, the surfaces worn shiny by human labour is attracive IMO. The trace of human activity - such as a plastered wall - is a subliminal language. You use it well but have a few bits of grammar yet to learn.

It's bizarre.

Jutilda's comment about the Vee is spot on: foreground rock to knee back up crack is a pronounced Vee. Actually I'd call it a triangle: and there's even more of them:

1. The most foreground rock is a triangle
2. The two legs make a triangle
3. The upper body makes a triangle from the 2 hands up to the head
4. The two long foreground grass stalks make a vee that never completes a triangle visually.

So this whole compsition is messing with triangles, EXCEPT that the main composition is composed of three distinctly horizontal zones overlaid with a strong vertical zone (the figure). Altogether, very satisfying if a touch bizarre.

Yes, it is a wall... :-)
And the triangle composition was intentional, but not all of the ones you've listed of course. :-)
I'll letcha keep going...

Awesome processing. It looks like somebody dropped the print and then ran over it a couple times and poured coke on it, then you picked it back up and scanned it. Sweet.

Jutilda commented on the "wall crack".
Hmm, that's not a wall, is it? Your mastery of merging layers is admirable, Joey! Wish I could produce something nearly as good.

The diagonal of her leg meeting the opposite diagonal of the crack in the wall almost creates a "V." Nice work!! I like it.
