The wooden structure somewhat resembles the Chinese symbol for sun. The last couple of the days the weather has been crispy and clear creating beautiful sunsets. This shot part of a batch was taken with my new Sigma 10-20mm ... very happy with the purchase!

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: this lacks somewhat in the composition, i see a little of a high horizon approach, but the fence seems to be too centered
color: the orange of the fence is very interesting, i thought it was painted at first. it contrasts well with the blue sky
contrast: a little flat, could have used a boost to help emphasize the subject
focus: focus is good, nice, sharp, and on the fence (correct subject)
depth of field: this seems to be lacking as well, everything from the fence all the way back to the houses in the distance is in focus, not really separating the subject from the distracting background
lighting: very unique lighting experience here, i quite like it.
other: in the end, this photo didnt have enough "WOW!" to take voters by suprise. Also, the confusing (for some) subject matter further pushed voters to give a lower score. I suggest trying out different angles, and different DOF's in order to separate this interesting fence piece, and give it that "Wow!"
I hope this helped you. If not, feel free to PM me, and i'll get in touch with you. Keep going in the challenges, practice makes perfect!

Not sure about this. The color of the wood looks a little odd, even knowing this was a sunset shot. I do like the oriental appearance that you found in this though.
