I don't know if you were deliberately going for this effect, but I was amused by how big the picture was in comparison to the poem, a haiku, which rests underneath the vastness, so we scroll down until we notice those lines, very short and concise.
I have a bit of a problem with the fact that understanding the piece is slightly contingent on seeing the pic, but aside from that grump this is great. Funny, yet oddly profound, and expressed with a confidence of vision that's rare. I adore the last line.
