What an intriguing image Tom. Great balance. I like the way you have used the vignetting to create / emphasise the appearance of mist. And that 'structure' brings to mind the monumental statuary of Eastern Europe - the gun raised in victory. Superb.
Allegorical ( keep it simple Tom) I only went to a comp.
Great shot, and well thought out, like the juxtaposition very effective. As Pete said quite Stalinist in its menacing beauty.
For a fleeting moment I thought,...several planks laid out in a pond and a tree in reflection. Very interesting composition, Tom. What did you shoot it with?
