Well,...I've actually no clue what the silhouettes are and the pole in the background on the left blending with the item in front of it is distracting. Yes, I find the bold watermark distracting. I'm not always a fan of abstract (if this photo would be considered that) but I just don't really get this one. Sorry. It's not a critique I like giving, but I also don't like to see a photo submitted for critique and not getting any responses.

thank you

the gratitude might be uber late, but do know your comment was truly appreciated. especially about the part on how you feel about those asking for critiques not getting a reply; someone saying they dont get the pic is soo much better indeed, that staring at a 0 under the replies column :P

in hindsight, i guess i was just after picturing the sunlight from a different POV but your right, if one didnt know i was shooting over a fence, (or even if they do know it), the pic doesnt say much.

thanks again!

I'm certainly no expert, BIMO the sun is overpowering and yes the pole is distracting. Maybe taking the shot earlier, when the sun is much lower and there is more color in the sky, or playing with the exposure might help.
