 Crop, saturation, sharpen, usm, resize.

Forgot to check ISO before shooting (again...darn!!!)

I would like to see this score a 6 but you never know what to expect.

I like this as I like the windmill in the background which I think adds to the wire fence and really gives it that farm look.

Great job of bringing focus to the fence by having the background OOF.

Nicely done, I like the placement of the windmill & barbed wire. The sun is a bit of a problem here.

i really like the touch of the blurred out windmill in the background, but the blown out sun kills it for me I think. It takes away from the dynamic between the wire and the windmill

I like the layout of this photo. The windmill in the background is a really interesting touch. Beautiful sky, but a little red sunspot above the barb. Lol what can you do when you are pointing your camera right at the sun? Pretty photo.

Very nice! I love the large sun in the background and the layout. Reminds me of a fence! 10.

This is good, but I'm slightly disappointed that the central barb doesn't have a spike pointing down!
