crazzy88ss,

Pastel coloring is really well captured here. That also makes the fence stand out strongly, while everything else is nearly equal in tone. The angle of the fence increases this. If you moved to the other side of the fence (traffic permitting), and lined up the verticals (here it all leans right), and shot with more contrast in mind, you could have a stronger image overall.

Great shot. I agree with Jiminy on being a stonger shot by changing perspective a bit and weeding out some of the distractions. Not being there i am not sure, but by moving to the otherside of the road would cut out the barb wire fence on the inside of the fence and also cut out the power lines, of course the otherside to the right of the shot not seen may not be pleasing and maybe that is why you took this perspective.

Over all i really like the shot. Good tonal range, colors, and the contrast of the fence by the road helps to move the eye smoothly thru the shot. Good Job.

The poles/posts need to stand straight. In PS,
1: Filter> Distort> Lens Correction
2: Straighten Tool (second down, upper left)
3: Draw a line along what SHOULD be straight
4: Increase Photo size (lower right) by up to 10%. (Or crop photo)
Voila, straight Photo

Nice photo, makes me wonder where that road goes...
