An attempt to see how far I could go in isolating a detail without losing all meaningful definition. (Time weighs heavy in isolation, doesn't it? There's only so much sourdough one man can bake.)

The PiP shows the original picture of the MY Bob Barker owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, moored at the time in Hobart, Tasmania after trailing the whalers in the Southern Ocean in April 2011.

Comments and criticisms as to whether the objective is worth the effort will be gratefully received and considered.

I take your point about the severity of the crop, but that was part of the challenge I'd set myself, viz. to see how much I could reduce the crop and still be able to retain (or re-create) definition. The definition was re-created as much as possible using an on-line app called imglarger, which had the advantage of being free for trial purposes and gave results that not even Lightroom could achieve. If I were doing something important then I would perhaps crop differently. Good fun, though. Thanks for taking the time to comment in depth.

I'd count this a total success, in the sense that if you'd wanted a 'record' the original image covered the need: if you wanted something with an abstract and graphic feeling, you've achieved it well.

Thank you, George. This was never meant to replace the original picture, of course. I liked the idea of the circle, the rectangle of the window and the diagonal of the railing all working together. It doesn't work perfectly, but it was a start and a most enjoyable (though occasionally frustrating) exercise.

The window ends up being enigmatic enough that I wouldn't have figured out what it was without looking at the PiP. I think this is why the crop feels so abstract.
