Cropped.
Contrast + brightness tweaked.
Colour hue and saturation both bumped up,
bringing the image a bit closer to my actual
view of the clothes line.

Great composition. I thought it was a sail and mast until I saw the clothespins. Pretty clever. The photo seems to be grainy. I would imagine the right combination of unsharp mask or neat image would clean it up very well. Good job on an original capture.
Beautifully done, light an dairy, and well composed with the triangles of parallel lines tilted as they are. Should be a top competitor in this challenge. 8
I like the odd angles of the arms but some kind of consistency with the clothes pins just to help highlight the parallel lines (or you could have removed all the pins) would have enhanced the photo. The scarf/hanky blowing in the wind (great title, btw) also doesn't add anything to the photo from a technical standpoint but it does give the titular tie in and so has some artistic value. Great choice of a different perspective.
