Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the additional perspective, Gustavo! The contraditicon that you mentioned might also be one strong reason for the prison-like look that the other people commented about on this image?

Cheers, and up the irons!

Hi Mirek and thank you very much for the nice and detailed comment.
I am very enthusiastic with the converging views of yours, Andre's and perhaps also Ian's, which make it almost ceratin to me that I do consider this kind of manifestation of "civilisation" as a prison in itself. I guess that in seems to me this way, exactly because the quantity replaced quality, as perhaps also represented by the huge number of poles, tracks, and similar. It is only much/many but it lacks any other quality, and thus identifying the much/many with the good/well can be considered as a prosion of mind too - I guess this is my intention for shooting such images.
But still I am thinking ;-)
Many thanks and all the best!
Nick

Thanks a lot again, Ian, for the nice comment!
So, perhaps the out of focus area should have more weight, I guess? Very interesting since I was thinking of exactly the opposite and played with the idea to repeat the shots trying hyperfocus.
Thank you very much for putting another idea in my mind.
Nick

Espectácular, qué contradicción que una creación tan humana parezca sin embargo ajena y enloquecedora..., un excelente punto de vista y una muy buena y ámplia profundidad de campo.
Un abrazo!

Nice lacework of steel. It is a great shot, to show the encroaching civilization. I admire how You managed to fit so many of those iron poles, tracks and cables in Your picture. The little bit of the platform and the vertical pole closest to the camera can stay, they add some depth to the picture. The lighting is great in a sense that it makes everything look like inside of a prison cell and I think this was Your intention too.

The out of focus area glows again creating a two world dynamism better in the next shot for me.
