 More dramatic than it actually is: a mother behind the fence watching her son playing soccer on a sunny day in Iceland.

Cropped and made some tonal adjustments in Lightroom; exported to PS for levels, hue/saturation, curves and more tonal adjustments, then I resized the image, sharpened, framed and saved for the web.

Fence works like a forbidding, foreboding overlay here. Good idea.

I believe this photo would have been stronger if she had been in sharp focus and the fence OOF, as it is this is way to busy to my eye.
