I'm thick

Sorry, Michael, I don't "get" this one. Help me understand.

the wall is for protecting people against noise. a 'noise-protection-wall'. as u see on the left (the roof) there are people still living next to the highway. and maybe to protect drivers against animals traversing the road or to protect animals against running over by cars. who knows? the highway is between 2 walls in a countrified area. as all over in the 'civilisized world' kids are brushing graffities. i was on tour to take pictures when i decide to shot this as a panorama just for practice stitching. that was my origin intention. after postprocessing i decide to share the image to show a panoramic image of a wall against noise pollution. just a different 'landscape'. thats all.

to keep the data size small i had to limit the jpg's size/quality to 50%. unfortunately common browsers are not able to use embedded color profils, so the colors are a bit slack. if u had the chance to view with apple's safari u can see it with color profil and much better colors. thats always a problem. i had to find a way to process the webpictures with colors all can view... any hints?

i know its not a great artwork. i don't care.

I guess I was confused by John's comment more than your photo. As an experiment, I understand. But your images are usually so clear, I look at them and think "I know exactly why Michael shot this and what he was after," so along with John's mysterious reference to "two fingers" I thought maybe there was something else to this shot that I couldn't see. You're right, it's not great art, but I'm sure you learned something from the stitching experience!
