Rail Fail

I like this shot..the twisted shape of the fence is quite intriguing and compositionally, I can`t fault it...you have divided it up well with the fence making a nice diagonal to divide the image neatly.
I would love to have seen the fence as the main subject with the background softly blurred by the use of shallow DOF as I think it competes for attention because of the reflections.
This however, is my personal taste and in no way reflects on the quality of the image...very nice work.

Lovely use of very shallow DOF..you have really pinpointed the subject well.
It also suits the desat (although a little colour is still showing through in the wood grain).
One of my top picks.

I`m with Neil on this Jon,maybe cropping a little off the left of the image to where you had the original but including everything else, makes
it even more dramatic for me.

Incidentally, what lens did you use for this shot ?

Beautifully sharp and the purple backdrop contrasts nicely with the lemon, adding impact to the image.

I like the abstract quality of this image with differing colours and shapes helping to add interest but retaining it`s "yellow" tone throughout.
