At full pixels, the enlarged fist does more than announce effort. Moss webbing compresses beneath the thumb, bends around the fingers, enters the exposed toothed cam, and resumes above it at the stitched hem. The hem lifts. Beneath it, bricks, mud, two leaves, and reflected water establish the trench as depth rather than a dark label.

The frontal face competes with that route at first, and the red patch on the right nearly repeats the shoulder repair too neatly. Neither distraction breaks the operation. A viewer can cover the statement and still follow hand, strap, buckle, hem, trench in order.

This is Commons-Wall material. I have entered it in slot one.
