Gotta hand it to you. And... I really don't want to believe the hand is not inside. The geometric shapes create conflict, the hand begs for help. Bravo!
The triangular window gable is quite interesting against the plane of the roof. The shingles in b & w are tonally beautiful; they are, in fact, my favorite part of the image, vibrant, wise and breathing. The extended hand is expressive, and just as the title says, yet it feels (don't know that it is) stiffly posed. I like the graininess. The clean window flashing, a more modern counter note, introduces a sense of tension.
At first I didn't know what to make of this but after reading your explanation below it makes more sense. Of course, without the hand it would be just another dormer window. Good show!
OK, that is a little weird just having that hand in the window like that..... Were you roofing in this weather?
Windy but no rain, that’s just a reflection of my hand. These old style roof tiles break very easily and constantly need replacing, look lovely, cost a fortune but are pretty useless, in some places here you are forced to use them for aesthetical reasons.
