Was going to change the hue to give the whole photo a rusty colour, but thought the original colours gave a better indication of the time of day - early morning. There was low cloud over a dam in the background.
Cropped, sharpened and slightly saturated.

And the reason why. Very nice photo. The subject is not as totally defined as I would like. I would like to have seen this with the camera closer, with a little more exposure on the wire. The background is wonderful. It would have been superb if the raindrop had brought into focus what the aperture of the camera left diffuse.
The gradation of color and light in the background is highly appealing and I enjoy looking at this picture. I am hesitating about moving onto the next one to rate.

you could probably have gotten away with a tigher crop on the top intead of centering the barb. I think would have had a greater impact on the picture and would have given it a 10. <8>
great shot. nice detail. I would try cropping off about a third off either top or bottom. (rule of thirds) I think that would give even greater appeal. Little details could be the difference between a good score and a ribbon :-) 8
Don't love this narrow, vertical format. I think it would be a 'wow' if you cropped it so that the barbed wire was in the uppermost section of the frame (with a little of the blurred background above it).
