I'm really quite fond of this photo, which means there's a decent chance it will bomb :)
I quite like how the terrain melts into the sky, into the unknown.

Told ya :-). It really does melt into the unknown, I loved this the second I saw it.
Reading Paul's comment, I realize that it was probably the softness that attracted my eye. I think you made all the right choices with this image.
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: I really like the smoothness of this image. I also really like how it's difficult to tell whether the scene or the image is black and white. I really like your overall composition too and the slight vignette adds much.
Critical stuff: not much at all
Overall: Beautifully presentation of sublime scene.
This is a very mysterious shot. It's almost as if you cross that barbed wire fence, you won't know what you're walking into or off of. It's definitely intriguing.
