A Marmite moment indeed. The shape is right, I like the colour effect of the bleached timber as well, not 100% sure about the scorching, but then again it does not look too out of place either.
The photo I'd like to think about is the second one, you can defiantly see the cantilever effect, in fact my first thought was a cresting wave, but then I saw a dolphin rising out of the waves with the form balanced on it's head.
