Appreciate the thought. I did try different crops, and when I cropped the fence line out, my eye wandered too much. I believe that the fence line keeps your eye on the subject, the sweet spot if you will.

I've moved the thread - Share Your Shots is just to show some pictures not to get into a detailed discussion about them (which is where I can see this going).

ps. ... and remember the 640px rule! I've shrunk the images down to fit.

I will remember the rules on size, sorry about that. But, I did not ask for a critique, someone decided to critique my photo. I think it is a little unfair that my post was moved because someone else decided it was o.k. to critique them.

I moved it because I was wondering what kinds of comments you expected: "Gee, that one shot looks a lot like the other but kinda shorter...".
