Cruise
If we look hard enough anything can be broken down into smaller and smaller parts. This is true in photography as well, a building for instance can be seen as a complete structure in an environment or as sub-components and details. And it is often in the details that we find some of our most interesting graphics.
This photographer has focused in on a small, significant, detail of a sailing ship. He could have shot this ship in many different ways (and I hope he did), but he has presented this interesting graphic detail. When we break it down the graphic consist of a vertical line engulfed in a pattern of curved lines. The portion of rope moving off to the background tells us the purpose of the foreground elements and tells us this was taken on a boat and nowhere else.
I would like the photographer to study the subject a little closer before taking the shot. The stain on the top rope could have been prevented by rotating this section or possibly taking the image from a slightly different angle. The closer the detail shot the more the slight imperfections matter.
