Interesting. To me it has a much darker feeling that curiosity. More like helplessness and despair.

the yellow on black is cool, and the eye peering through the hole is interesting, but at first glance I saw too much fence and not enough bird.

You'll probably get more replies if you post your photo here for us. It's much easier if we dont have to flip back and forth from one page to another

The colors and contrast are great... I love the eye through the fence and the out-of-focus birds behind him.

But I found myself searching for the point of interest when I first pulled up the photo. I feel like the fence on the left is just dead space. Composition-wise, I'm not sure it's adding anything for me.

@ Jim Poor & jentenna : Thank you both for taking the time to comment. I framed the shot keeping in mind the rule of thirds, guess it dint work for this photo.
