Shot of open window with reflection on left. The right side is the barn interior. Manual HDR using one exposure to bring out detail in barn interior. Processing used 3 Nik Efex filters plus b/w adjustment layer.
It seemed to me the right frame was an abstraction of the left, but I doubt if it is obvious.

I appreciate the great comments and awards, thanks. This did much better than I expected.

Quite apart from the headlessness, which is intensely appealing, I would agree that the right is an abstraction of the left: one could make that a political standpoint and still be taken seriously, almost. Personally, I would call it more of a cubist representation of the right, but there you go. I like that there is a head in the abstraction though, and not in the 'real'.
I think that's Don on the ladder... :-) Great shot and congrats on the Cup of Grace (or whatever it is in French) with both of the fancy ribbon things - Don's and Paul's.
This is just wonderful. A brilliant ragoût of certainty and uncertainty; the explicit and implicit; tone, texture and graphic grace. And I use the culinary allusion advisedly, because this image has all the balance and inspired fusion of a modern-classic dish. Undertones and overtones in absolute harmony. And it's also a perfect natural diptych, just for a bonus (and presumably to prompt some dismal soul to request validation ... Bah!).
I'd give it a 12 if that score were available. Alas, 10's my limit. Plus the Order of the Thumb:
Long time since I've seen a photo of this quality on DPC and I don't mean technical quality, but originality, composition and such. Just beautiful, beautiful, a gem for the eye. I cannot vote in this contest, but I would have given you a big 10.
