Joseph Glidden was issued the patent on barbed wire in November of 1874. This patent and the subsequent explosion of fenced land was one of the key factors in the demise of the great cattle drives and the final settlement of the West as well as helping to force the Indians onto the reservations as they saw their hunting grounds divided up into 160 acre sections.
I hope you like my perspective on barb wire.

Hi Steve! It looks like you got some good comments! You may want to straighten your horizon (or make it more tilted, if you're going for that effect). I like the positioning of the foggy sun just to the right of the barb. You may be able to play with colors to see if you can eek more drama into the shot. Nice work, though!
