Lines Leading Nowhere

I have a red-green form of color-blindness -- one of the most common manifestations is "not noticing" this type of thing.

As for lines leading and leading nowhere ... barbed wire commonly symbolizes confinement, wide-open skies (even if over-saturated) symbolize freedom, and these lines both lead you towards and bar you from that freedom. Maybe I should have added the reflective pause to the title, and called it

Lines Leading ... Nowhere

Nice subject choice! I like whatever those are stuck in with the strawberries....good texture contrast.

A little more work with levels and saturation could really help this one. It just comes off very flat, and the colors don't have much pop.

The images that always suffer from a lack of comments are the ones that are right in the middle ground. Everyone comments on the awesome shots. Some comment on the bad shots. But the middle ones, very few people say anything. So here I am to explain why I voted a 5:

This image qualifies as a close-up (not a macro), and has pretty good sharpness and depth of field. I really like the reds in the surrounding strawberries. Where I think it lacks is in the main subject. Something different, even little whisps of whipping cream or some other "stark contrast" to the red of the strawberries, would have added interest to the image. You might also play with lighting to add a little difference in highlights and shadows.

Hope the comments help.

Excellent dof ... I like the composition very much ... Some redder strawberries would have been helpful.
