A profoundly unsettling view from the bleachers. More converging lines than you will probably ever want to see displayed in an image.

It is certainly unsettling and captivating in its own way.
A pity the background is what it is but I cant really see what you can do about it.
Im English and have heard this term bleachers many times but no idea really what it means? Someone explain please.
Good day my man from a hot and wet South Seas.

There is a level control on a lot of cameras, but if yours does not have one this can be worked on in pp 2c4.

It is truly unsettling, which is its success of course. It makes one dizzy and weak kneed. It is well seen and well captured, to create such an impression.
It unfortunately reminds me far too much of the time I got overexcited watching my son run the 100 meter, and toppled myself off some high school bleachers that looked a lot like this, going down.

I like that it's titled where it may otherwise be just another image.
May we ask for the backstory and anything that will help us understand your vision? S-

I didn't like this tilted look at all upon first glance, but the more I looked, the more it grew on me. Good job, I think, for a unique perspective.

At one time it was common to "bleach" white cloth by hanging it out in the sun. In the 1880s a newspaper writer in Chicago referred to the open bench seating in the baseball stadium, seating that was not under the roof, as "bleachers" and the term caught on. Those were also always referred to as the "cheap seats" since the price of admission was much lower if you were willing to sit in the bleachers (out in the sun, or rain).
Today any bench seating, whether or not it is under a roof, is referred to as "bleachers."

Bleachers- The cheap seats way out in the center field with no overhang to shade the folks in the bleachers. The sun is strongest out there, so the fans are bleached by the sun. Another phrase that applies to the seats at the highest point of the arena-- the nose-bleed seats

I think it is very interesting. I feel out of balance viewing this. I think, of course, that is the point. It works for me.

Back many, many years ago, when my friends and I would go to a ball game and sit in the bleachers and toss back a few beers, that was a pretty common view.
