Eye Strain

This image "pulls" my eyes. I've not had that that uncomfortable viewing experience before. Can any one tell me why this image causes me eye strain?

I don’t know why it gives you eye strain. I find it very interesting.

It works for me -- That is the Eye Strain
Why?
"Think" it's because very little of what my eyes are attempting to see is in sharp focus
PS: Do like the photo

Maybe because it's out of focus and our eyes are trying to focus on the trees.

For reasons many mention it is probably your brain that is actually causing what you perceive as eye strain because photo is (a) out of focus (b) has nothing that draws your eye directly to it (c) is busy as your brain searches for a centering section (d) colors contrast vs blend, and (e) cropping leads us out of the photo. Lots to process at once.

Leading lines do what leading lines do, and this one is all over the place with leading lines. However, that's more likely to give you brain strain. The eye strain is probably as others have said - it's a very busy shot with nothing in sharp focus which leaves your eyes working very hard to find something to focus on.

Nice shot.

The location of the almost ‘horizontal’ tree in front is challenging your depth perception: it appears to be growing ‘interlaced’ with the other trees yet it is all in front… your eyes keep searching for a reference point.

I get the feeling that the foreground and the background are competing for your visual attention. If the background was not in focus as much there would be no competing.

I have the same problem. I'm trying to focus on the center of the photo but it's not quite clear which pulls me to the outside edges which are. This causes my conscious thoughts, see the center, to the unconscious, no it's sharper on the edges. Look there. Love to see a comparison photo with the center sharp and the edges not so sharp.
