you've done something to the original image, but am not sure what. too much brightness, not enough contrast? dunno. do you have photoshop? if so, try using curves - by manipulating the top and bottom ends of the curves, you can make the darker areas darker and the brighter areas brighter. brightness is really the achilles heel here...
Wonderful composition and perpesective. You might try adjusting brightness/contrast or setting the black point if you use Photoshop to see if it looks better.
Really well done composition. It fills the frame perfectly with nothing extraneous.I like the simple color scheme of green and browns with the thin wedge of pale blue.
I had a similar fence shot I did for this challenge (not as good--it's in my portfolio if you feel like checking it out) but I didn't enter it because I wasn't sure it counted as an unusual viewpoint. I decided in the case of this photo it did. :D I'm curious what other voters will think.
