very nice..overall i give this a 8..somehow , and i know i read how but can't TELL you how...there's a way to make black and white and sepia images pop..nice composition..even tho partial fence on left..bout 1/4 inch of fence on left side..to left of iron/metal gate is brighter than other white fencing...gl in challenge
I like the idea of this but it seems a tad busy with the irregular fence and mailbox. I might crop it so the left area of the white fence is out of the shot. I might even shoot from a different angle to remove the mailbox altogether. Nice tonality and the contrast is good.
An interesting juxtiposition with the fences in the background being wood & metal... not sure if the tree is "Happy" or worried about being a fence board...
