 Taken on last day of the challenge. I really hadn't planned to enter (and if my last two decisions are any indication, I probably shouldn't have!), but couldn't resist my Update Button addiction. I also thought the contrasting perspectives of the two fence lines might be unique in the challenge. I really liked the sky and moon in this shot too.

I like the sepia tones. They seemed to make something very ordinary somewhat remarkable. Time will tell if others felt the same way. :-)

[I hope I'm not on some downward spiral that I can't get out of! I think I probably need to take a break from challenge entries to refocus and submit my next entry as something that really wow's my audience. I guess that's what we're all trying to do though, isn't it?!?] LOL

Anyway... PP included:

crop
reduce backlighting
added flash
color sat
contrast
change hue
curves
Neat Image
sharpen
save for Web

For me, this tranquil perspective might be even more dramatic if the merge point in the background didn't end up in the center of the photograph. Color seems a bit dark on my screen, but I do get a sense of perspective.

This WOULD be wistful if everything wasn't so sharp. I think a little cropping would improve it, too.

Really like the photo. Good perspective. It gives me that lonely homey feeling.

Very nice pastoral shot. I like the aged filter. The fence is a perfect leading line here. Nice faded sun due to the clouds.
