| I like this one (a bit more than the seashore one) - powerful lead in to the distance. |

Yes, definitely what grigri said. Then there's the psychology of the fence/barrier language, that i see being expressed by lots of people, here as well.
It is powerful to me because it IS a more personal/unique view of Colorado. Not the usual 'scenic' shots of the mountains that people have come to associate with Colorado. Here, there are the mountains as well but the image is really saying here, here, there is much more to Colorado and its landscape.
Suspect that the image wasn't really all that much of a fluke after all. You probably 'saw' it clearly and it was good enough to slam on the brakes for.
Probably my usual mumbo jumbo.

| I think its the geometry of the fence that makes it so appealing. A perfect perspective with lines...gives our eyes a fluid trek into the depths of the image...3 dimensional...rather than being flat. Is that an animal on the right side of the fence? |

I just looked at your 4 Colorado pictures in your portfolio. Also like the one with the rainbow; it has extraordinary light. The exposure of the waterfall with the flowers in front is truly excellent.
Yet, i keep on coming back to this one. To me, personal taste mind you, this is the most powerful of the four by far. I would have speculated that is because this is the most personal/personalized one of all four and that aspect shines through.
However, i just now see your comment and this shot was really a fluke :) So, i can't explain this at all. I have that as well that i did something decent without any effort whatsoever; then there is other things that mean a lot to me, keep on shooting it, yet it keeps eluding me.
Why not run your copyright notice as an action on a separate layer in PS; cuts down on one save and degradation?
Would be interesting to hear what other people think of this and how they rank these four.
Have you tried to sell this one? Looks very marketable to me. |

| Funny, it was created on a spurt of the moment. I told my GF: "Hey, there is a fence there, i am going to take a few shots", slammed my brakes on highway 36? and stopped at the Boulder visitor place. Actually the post is sharp, but after resizing, etc. it is not. Also, the problem with this image is that i created it and resized to 640 on the horizontal, then Breezebrowser adds the copyright and probably saves it too (which degrades it so it's not as sharp). |

That's a darn fine image, Tony. It has soul. The foremost post could be a tad sharper but i know i'm being very demanding here. Just wished you didn't paste your copyright notices onto your images; they take away greatly from the enjoyment of them :(
