When a subject of an image is keyholed like this, there is usually an intention that communicates either intimacy, or similarity in form, or some interesting juxtaposition. What's so visually meaningful about this faucet?

Thank you Miguel. I did not try to hide any meaning except to capture a vintage like a garden faucet against the light thought the fence cell. I also try to limit DOF to blur background, that did not work well.
Cheers.

There is meaning everywhere and in everything.

The faucet is strongly male and suggests abundance and creation.

The mouth is pointing to a plant suggesting the faucet gave it life from its life giving waters.

Set against this is the house and is a foil of solid rectangular shapes opposing the natural forms of the vegetation.

The faucet itself by its blackness becomes a negative space counterpointing its positive maleness and creating tension.

The projections in the frame point strongly to the faucet forcing the attention on it.

The shadow of the faucet leads to the frame and links the frame to the faucet.

And lastly the faucet is leaning as though straining to deliver life to the world.

All of the image suggests growth spontenaety and birth.

What do you see.
