Almost as soon as I saw this challenge, I thought of doing this photo. The lawn needed its first mowing of the season recently, but I never got around to doing the edge work. Good thing, as those long grasses add a bit of interest.
I shot this during mid-day sun, so I used an off camera flash with mini soft box to battle the sun. It was hard to see the LCD, so it turned out that I over battled the sun a bit, and made this die of the fence a bit too bright. So I had to do a little extra processing to darken the closest parts of the fence.
I hope this does slightly better than middle of the road. I wanted to do something that I don't expect to see any similar photos, so hopefully this will stand out in a crowd of birds sitting on fences and scenics looking down a fence.
