My 1st challenge submission in months and it's lacking in many respects. Don't like that it's cut off on the bottom - I was concentrating on the car in the distance lining up with the end of the fence when I was taking the picture. It's kind of a busy road and there was quite a bit of traffic - right near a highway ramp and it was New Year's Day. I originally had this in B&W but now that I've been playing around I've noticed that the grass is actually greener on the one side of the fence, so I'm leaving the color. I have a version that is cropped a bit tighter to lessen the distracting cut off bottom - but it seems a little strange(?)- the fence post is just soo white and soo in your face. I kinda think the green grass on the one side - is interesting like the old saying "the grass is always greener on the other side..." Bummer about the sky, as usual it's just white and dreary, though I usually get comments calling it "blown out", "washed out" or "overexposed" - not sure about all that - it's just white, that's how the sky was when I took the picture. I don't think it's as level as it should be either - the horizon seems a bit tilted down and to the left - I probably could fix this flaw in PSP - but I'm just too tired now.
That's all the wrong stuff I can think of for now :)
All auto settings on crappy little point and shoot.
Editing:
in ACDSee: sharpen, slight crop, sharpening, de-sat, blackpoint, gamma, contrast, re-size.
in PSP6: salt & pepper filter, spot edited two small pieces of garbage in the mud and grass, border.

to bad you could not have been up higher looking down on this shot, thus maybe getting rid of some of the background and some crop of the pole ends of the fence. also u have 150 kb size limit use it, ur at 88.56
