Confined

Sweet, plaintive expression, heightened sense of confinement. I hope the voters did not vote this down as being more about the calf than the fence--I think it's just right.

Electric Fence

Comment:
I like the composition very much, but the neon red-orange horse is a little too unreal for me. Choosing to desat the insulator handle may not have been a good choice, it looks like it's coming out of the horse's head, I do realize the tie in with your title. The fence is "there" but this says "country scene" more than anything else.

Stunning job meeting the theme. The translucence of the aged one's skin drives home the transience of our stay, along with the ravages of arthritis. I like how we're led in and out with the blue sleeves at both ends. Congrats on your ribbon!

Hmmm. Ribbon worthy, athough I don't care for the plastic look of her skin's tones.

Spectacularly good-the mothers look young and old at the same time. I can see why it's your favorite!
