Needs more contrast between the subject and the background. Truthfully, I'm not sure it would be more interesting then. Perhaps if the wire were wrapped around something or include the fence post might be a better shot.
Effective use of depth of field to isolate this interesting subject. The background has a lot of energy, but maybe so much that it competes with the subject for attention. Nice work!

Could really be a nice shot if it were brighter. I can hardly tell where the barbed wire begins. Background is nice; white spot behind the barb in the foreground is distracting.
