 Shot of a city playground fenced in. I liked the symbolism of the fence as both as a protective cage to keep children in and as a barrier to keep the outside world out.

Not sure what to make of this. There's a fence alright, but I see no real point of interest anywhere in this image. Composition is all over the place and again, the colours seem flat and lifeless.

This would work well with tighter focus on the fence and the foreground and background elements out of focus.

Not sure what I'm looking at. black fence is lost, but the fences in back kind of add to it. Could you have done something with basic editing to make it pop a little more?

Nice first entry. Note - it seems creative titles can help entries on here. While it is a playgorund fence, a title of maybe "Fences withing fences" would get the viewer to think a little more and spend some time looking at the photo, rather than just saying 'oh nice' and clicking a rating to move on to the next photo.

Sad commentary of our times to have to fence in a playground.
