I framed the photo to match the fence on the other side of the yard. This is the outside of the fence. I set it up so that it had a small DOF. I used my new Canon xti and my new 28-135mm IS USM canon lens. I am into abstracts and I felt this might do well for the fences challenge (I was wrong - not doing really well). I adjusted the levels on the image. That's it.

A bit over saturated, and looks slightly unnatural. Other technicals are okay, and it fits the theme very well. The contrast between the background and foreground colors is striking...
