Was out shooting for fun today *gasp* and saw this thorn branch crossing the barbed wire. Thought I might be able to get a free study out of it and then realized that I could do "X"
So, here ya go.
Post challenge comments -- The xX is related to the two x's in the picture -- the big one is the thorn branch crossing the barbed wire and the little one is the thorn crossing the barb.
The irony is that both barbed wire and thorns will stick or grab you, but here, they've gotten eachother. . .

This should have done MUCH better scorewise in my opinion. Excellent interpretation of the challenge but also a lovely shot on its own, with its own story to tell.
I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but the "x" that actually caught my eye was the thorn crossing the one piece of barbed wire. I liked the dof and lighting too.
A little noisy, but good sharpness at the intersection and good DoF. I'm not getting the whole story, though... I feel like it needs something else. A setting, with either more thorny things or a fence or a few more rose stems (?) at varying degrees of sharpness... Anyway, it's a 6 from me.
This is kind of deep haha I dont know how to say what im thinking, but its like "art imitating life" or something ot that extent, if you catch my drift
