It's hard to make the rope the center of attention when using such distance. Now it's just something dangling at the side.When trying to "create" a shot, you need to put yourself into the viewer's shoes. You know perfectly well what you try to do but anyone looking at the picture only does so when you lead their eyes towards what you have in mind. There's too little distinction in sharpness between the background and rope to make the eye lock onto it and that disrupts your intent.Nobody can read your mind but when done correctly, everyone can follow your eye.</blockquote>
