True! But in a ‘photograph’, shouldn’t there at least be continuity, if not realism?

I never disputed the sentiment, just this portrayal posted in photo gallery which to me implies that it was an actual photograph which it obviously isn’t.

For you maybe, but not necessarily everyone.
I look at images on their own merit for how they look, as a whole.
I don't look for discrepancies in reality.
They will appeal to me or not.
I guess I'm missing what isn't "real" in the image.

Sorry for the mixup. This was meant to be posted in general chit-chat. This is not my photo but I stand by the sentiment.

For starters, I know dirt roads don’t miraculously turn into a paved road with curbing in the middle of the country, I’ve never seen a mailbox suspended in mid air, And I don’t know of a farmer who if forced to use a tree limb as a fence post would allow an errant limb to extend out into the field perpendicular to the fence as a hazard.
In spite of that, the sentiment can not disputed.

Sorry folks but this was posted in the wrong forum.
I didn't notice.
I look at the posts, not where they are posted.
(I never notice.)

Apologies for starting the rhubarb.

I've seen paved roads turn into dirt roads past houses...

You don't see it here either, it's suspended by a pole...

Just because you've never seen one doesn't mean they can't exist that way.
Could be a limb laying on the ground behind the post too...
For finishers,
nit-pick often?

Clickety, for some of us old guys, that picture is still reality. Although my wife sees a time we won't be able to continue to live here approaching. As far as I'm concerned, I'd stay right here until they carry me off in a pine box. Not everyone lives in a large city. I'd like to add a photo but my computer isn't cooperating for some reason.
