Oppose This picture is all about lines. There are four lines going from the top left, bottom left, bottom 1/3, and bottom 2/3 to the far right. I get what you're going for, but it just doesn't work for me: the fence is strong but the wall just disappears into the bottom, making the composition unbalanced IMO. (By the way, you have some cloning errors at the bottom right.) -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 02:15, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for noticing the error, I'll fix it as soon as I can. It's a leftover from tilt correction. I tried a version with the wall given as much room as the fence but it just took over the image completely then and obliterated the more fragile, interesting fence. cart-Talk09:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Rough critique (it struck me as mean)! I haven't decided whether or how to vote, but that composition surely was there for the taking/making, not contrived. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:39, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Charles is entitled to his opinion, whatever that may be. :) I saw this long fence during a walk, this is what it looks like walking next to it, and came back later in better light and took the pic. Simple as that. BTW, the whole thing is high (over 2 meters), the photo is taken from my eye-level and I could lean comfortably on the wall while taking it. Perhaps Charles thought I was crawling on the ground for this angle and that would have been contrived. cart-Talk09:53, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CommentWavy fence and a wall B&W version I really liked INC's comment about B&W so I did a version of this, but from a rainy, overcast day since such light goes better with B&W and bare trees. This also takes in King's comments. Thoughts? This really takes me back since I made most of my photography in B&W back in the analogue days. :) --cart-Talk13:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I prefer the black & white photo with the wider crop on the right, less of the nearer trees, more of the background and a man walking away from you as part of the composition. I would vote for that one. I don't think I will vote for this one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:49, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination The more I look at it, I think the B&W pic is the better image. Score one more for the teamwork on this site! :) --cart-Talk14:06, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
