Critique from thread
This is a solid image with a lot of potential, and a good subject choice for the challenge. But it is representational, and not interpretational. Here is a fence.

This could easily have scored much higher with some different choices, principally lighting. Here it is flat, with everything having the value. In fact, the eye is drawn more to the bright areas of the background, between the slats. In short, it's a very generalized image without an indication of where you want us to focus our attention.

Critique from thread. In general, I feel that your images suffer from I call "context" - it exists only for the person who takes the photo, and thus is more meaningful and interesting to them because they know the story behind it, or when/where/what was happening when it was taken. The view does not have access to any of that, and thus the image alone is not interesting.

Image choice: Extended FS are where people bring their A+++++ game. I'm more interested in knowing why you felt this image fit into that category. It would certainly be appropriate for challenges such as vintage, or music.

Technicals: the lighting is flat and dull, the focus is neither sharp, nor blurry enough to be an artistic choice, and it's quite noisy. The tilt does add a sense of movement, and the color certainly is eye-catching.

This could take a while
