This fence in Strand, South Africa, has been photographed by many photographers. That's why I chose to get a new perspective and shoot it from a different angle.

First Impression: I understand how the fence signifies the end of the space that someone can use, but the perspective here leaves me with a feeling of endlessness as the fence disappears into the distance. Interesting repetitive shapes in the waves and fence.
Looking Closer: It feels like you were going for the 'DPC look' that scores well here, but there is too much out of sync to really get that effect. The end of the wire on top of the fence, the different angles on the tops of the posts, overlapping fence, signs, and too much cluttering the smoothness of the water on the other side of the fence. The reflection of the posts and fence on the water is simply wonderful. I wonder if cropping the photo could help to really bring out that section and still portray the feeling of end. The darkness at the top adds a dark feeling which helps to signify the end, but I also feel like it's too much.
Overall, this scored well and even got a favorite! Not bad for your 4th challenge! Hope this was helpful. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
I can't decide whether those gorgeous rich tones and spot-on processing make a fitting contrast to the sinister subject-matter, or whether they feel like a sop to the chocolate-box loving voters 'round here.
