Default Rusty Barbed Wire

barbed wire

I took this picture yesterday whilst walkin by the beach. I wasn't really trying to achieve anything, just thought I'd have a go. Please give me any advice, espescially the composition, and andy tips on photoshopping, although I only want to enhance the picture, not radically change it.

Thank you very much for you time

Mike

I think it looks great as is. Don't know any way to improve it.

Great dof, color and composition. Actually your name on the left competes with the image itself. I might try a less strong signature.

Well done, you have found beauty in a not so beautfil object.

Love the bokeh'd background, subtracts nothing from the image yet adds some punch and distinction to your subject.

Again though, maybe if your signature/copyright was a little bit transparent as that is the only distracting feature.

Well done! Just goes to prove trying something new will reap good results.

ike,
