The rope does create a sort of border as there is nothing really interesting beyond it. The corkscrew effect was definitely present as the small vase and life preserve come into focus at the very last moment. However, it felt that once I was clear in understanding the situation I felt drawn to the windmill and as I imagined it spinning it almost threw me into the blue sky, clear out of the picture. I'm not sure if this would be a desired or undesired effect, but it did give the photograph a finishing touch, a sort of exit door.
