This is my first submission in a challenge on DPC. I hardly expect to achieve much, given the enourmous talent that DPC has onboard, but I am happy with this submission none-the-less.
Taken on Kaitorete Spit near Christchurch, with the NW winds speeding across the plains.

This is such a great shot. That being said, I would not have included the electric fence sign. To me it's a distraction. The wires on the fence, sky, wind blown grass, and depth is spectacular. (9)
Composition: 8, Good positioning of fence
Technical: 9, Excellent dark skies to contrast with clouds.

O yes, the perspective is very interesting, love the way it vanishes into the distance. Sky is good too. The only flaw is the centered position of the horizon, but many of the other elements of this photo make up for that.
despite the very modern subject matter, I'm sure Ansel would have approved! Only suggestion is that perhaps the horizon should be less central vertically
