Photo by Rachel Jones

We had a fences theme, so I have this garden in my yard with an old fence around it. I tried different angles and I liked this one the best. I really like how it’s a fence theme, but it has some sky in it. Overall I’m happy with it.

This is a good picture. I love the angle, and i think it makes it very interesting. The barbed wire seems to lead the eye around the photo, and the lightness of the sky contrasts the fence. It is overall a good photo!

I think this pic is really good. the fence post going up looks really cool with the wire. The sky adds to the image and just makes it better. Overall i give this picture a 5/5.

I really like this photo. I like the way you angled the camera up the post. I like the way it is in focus close up but more blurry further into the picture-depth of field. It is a really interesting shot that catches the eye. The post moves your eyes through the photo. It is a really good job!

I think this is a pretty interesting shot. I like the vantage point you chose for this picture and you did a great job with the focus in the foreground and in the background of the shot. It might have been better if you had captured a little more sky in the background though. Other than that I really like this picture.

I enjoy this picture. I think this is a very interesting picture because the camera is angled up on the fence so that there is a decent vanishing point in the piece. I like how the foreground is in focus. The weave of the fence allows the viewer to look in and out of the piece. The fine detail in the wood helps the piece also. Nice work.

This is great. The change of focus from front to middle and to back really makes the photo stand out. I also like the blue sky in the background. It provides a nice contrast to the almost rusty looking wire fence. And lastly, the grain on the wood of the fence makes for a cool illusion as it runs up toward the sky. extreme Kudos Rachel Jones.

I really like this perspective. I like that you can see the sky and that the blue contrasts with the gray/brown fence. I’m not sure about the focus though. It seems weird that there is a small portion of wire and wood is in focus but nothing else is. I think you need a clearer subject, maybe if there was something sticking out of the pole it would provide something to focus on.

I really like the perspective of this photo. I love to see people getting a different view on things. I like the clouds in the back ground and the depth of field. Good picture.

I really like this picture. I really like the perspective of this photo and how the post leads the eye up into the clear sky. I like how the wire adds interest to this picture too. Good picture.

I think this picture takes this ordinary fence and makes it look really odd. It seems like the perspective of and ant or something. The fence seems to go on forever and looks incredibly huge. The wires on the fence look pretty cool too. ctsphs

This picture's pretty cool. Nothing too fancy, nice vanishing point. Also the juxtaposition of the vertical post and the horizontal fence wire works well. Nice semi-open ended shot. So nifty.

This is an awesome picture! First, You have great focus and depth of field, and your angle creates an abstract piece. The wiring around the post really draws my eye in, and you chose a great vantage point. The wire also helps to lead your eye around the photo. Your photo contains many elements like the texture and grain look of the fence. I really like your composition and how you captured the grass as well in the background. The strong point of this photo is definitely the unique angle. It makes a great leading and implied line. I think you did a great job of capturing the sky, however I do think that more sky could add to your photo. Otherwise, this is a great shot! Good job! Becca H.-sphs

I really like the angle of this shot. When I first saw it I though it was a cross which is why I stopped for a closer look. The color in this is really good too. The only thing I don't like is the focus of the image. It just doesn't seem like it serves a purpose.

This shot is pretty cool. I really like the composition and all the cool lines it brings me, and the way the clouds and sky look. Robby SPHS

This is a really nice composition. I like the depth of field. The wood grains stand out and the wire which really pulls this picture together. The clouds are a little blurry which is nice, too.

I really like the creative angle of this shot. The descending fencepost moves the viwers eye from the foreground to the background. The wiring around the post contributes to breaking the piece up into segments. Good job catching a little bit of the blurred trees in the background. It adds to it as well. Good work

This is a pretty good photo. I like that all but a very small section is blurred, bringing contrast to the image. However, I would have taken the shot so that the top of the post would be on a third of the frame. That would have helped the image a lot and made it more interesting. I also would have tried to get less of the sky in the shot, bringing more focus to the fence, which is the subject of the shot and gets somewhat lost in the background towards the top. But overall, this is a nice image.

I like this picture. The angle makes a difference. I like how the barbed wire leads your eye to the sky almost. The exposure is good. I like how the angle makes as if the fence doesn't end.

this picture is really interesting, the angle gives the fence an appearance of importance like its something huge and its really cool, the wire has a great effect on the image because it moves the eyes around, great depth of field and overall great picture!

I think that this picture is compositionally brilliant. The way that the wires slowly fade out of focus as they grow farther away works very well, with the clouds clearly defined in the background, and the sky not too bright. The perspective you used is very strong, and captures the subject in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. Great shot!

That is really interesting picture. The angle you chose for this is amazing. It really guides my eye from the bottom all the way to the top of the image. Good job!
