I really like the oddness of this, but that foliage front and center really kills things for me.

What the hell is that? It's either a phone booth on a bridge of some sort, or, well, a phone booth ride on a bridge of some sort....

Frankly this is a puzzling image, and I like it very much!

Lighting was pretty harsh here, but you get what you get sometimes!
