| I was one of your tens. It is just simply a great shot. As Maria said, the barbed wire is genius. |

| I love this. It has stuck in my mind since I first saw it. Yesterday I actually lay down in a ditch just to see if I could get that pale yellow colour ... |

Voted earlier coming back to comment.
I think the perspective and the light that really makes the colors pop on the flowers are the strong points of this composition. I find it interesting that you decided to include the barbed wire in the shot. I am thinking it was intentional to show the contrast between things of delicate beauty (the buttercup flowers) and things that are ugly (the barbed wire). However the composition of the barbed wire in the top corner seems haphazard and most would mistake it to have no meaning other than it was perhaps an oversight. Also there are so many flowers scattered throughout the scene that it confuses the audience to think that they are the main focus rather than on of the main actors in the scene. If indeed it was intentional I think this has potential if you framed and composed the shot better. First off to show your audience there is symbolic meaning to the barbed wire being placed in the shot you should have them act as leading lines by composing it that the wire cuts across the frame at a diagonal ending at the top left and bottom right corners (might take a bit of work positioning yourself to get the shot but it will definitely be worth it to signal strongly to your audience that it is meant to be in the shot). Next you could angle the shot to have a few of the yellow flowers also come at a diagonal coming out from the left side extending to the right. They would almost act like crossed swords with the barbed wire or as nature escaping the boundaries set by the wire to cross over to freedom on the other side. The placement of flowers may not happen naturally so you may have to 'cheat' in that you would pick the flowers and then arrange them so that you would/could achieve the angle needed for the composition. This is just a suggestion based on an educated guess that you meant to include the barbed wire for a reason given that the title you choose serves as a clue. |

| Cool shot, but I think I would have preferred it better without the fence. (7) |
