Hand held shot at Lake Ellesmere, a few k's from home. The lake is quite high at the moment due to some heavy rain (There is no natural outflow for the lake) and so this fence is a bit more underwater than I would have liked. Still I think it shows a vanishing point quite well.
Editing was rotate, crop, scale, saturation curves, USM in the gimp. No border this time, going for minimal :-).

meets the challenge and becomes a heathy alternative to the roads and tracks. A beautiful scene to boot with a consistent wonderful blue. Bumping from 5 to 6.
Excellent composition, awsome colors. This feels like the challenge was made to celebrate this photo and not the photo taken for the challenge. I wish it ribbon. 10 from me.
This is a beautifully evocative image. The lonely twisted fence, the expanse of water, the isolated shrubs on the left, just beautiful. I think a few alternative crops might have enhanced it though. I think the submerged stick on lower left is somewhat distracting - but cropping the left would have removed the nice shrubs. Cropping the bottom would have removed the reflection of the foreground post. Ah, what to do. I'd also like to maybe see some levels adjustment to see if the sky could "pop" more. Anyway, beautiful shot! 8.
This would have been much better if you've had cropped the left half of it off, the right half is great, and that half alone would make a simple and very good photo. But not that it's bad as it is.
