This is really good. The dappled faded postcard sky, the figures- real or statues? the snow or sand? the compositional shift of the viewers eye straight through the foreground and up around the boardwalk... this all creates and the barrier. I hope people stop to take a look at these shots nestled into 225th place!
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Wonderful muted coloration and standout composition of a compelling scene. It may have been tempting to get closer and focus on the figures; but focussing on the barrier and distancing yourself from the figures has really paid dividends. A long look really rewards and the various leading lines begin to overlay a really strong sense of structure to the composition.
Critical stuff: Nothing really
Overall: A sleeper this one - get's better the longer you stay.
