Well, by reading your comments you can see that the subject of depth of field has the DPC'ers split on you concept here. I don't find a problem with your choice. In fact I find it compelling. I do find the crop distracting however. I think that the photo needs to end at the end of the fence line. My eyes are being pulled to far right and away your subject, the rusty pipe. saludos, russ
Wish you chould have shot this from the other side so that the rusted pipe was more "unbroken" and the chain link could have still trailed off out of focus. Good idea and good eye, though.
The colors of rust and sky go together well. Crop off the bottom just below the pipe and the right before you run completely out of fence and this is a highly attractive and powerful foto. As it stands, the uninteresting overpowers the interesting. A 4.
