A symbol from over 100 years ago that still represents alot. I like that you choose to photograph this subject. I am not to crazy about the lens baby used.

A good study in high-key but not terribly intiguing subject matter.

I like this simple yet poiniant image. Even without the theme of the challange and the title you have given it. I would want to look at and study the image. Its the point of focus, the line of the wire through the diagonal and the noise in the image which gives that gritty, sandy quality. That and the colour. I can almost feel the rust between my fingers yet know that it will still hurt to be on the wrong end of the spines. Excellent shot, of which I would be proud. Only another photographer would say that of this image I suppose?

nice idea:) i love the grain and the texture of the wire, it really conveys the exact tone and feeling of your title

I like the idea, but would be better with the tree on a third line rather than central

Beautiful shot. Lovely subtle colours, it looks like an old hand tinted b&w.

I love the symmetrical balance between the tree and the clouds. This looks blue ribbon worthy.

Hmm, how many people have commented that this is too noisy?
Nice use of grain to give the right feel here.
