Nice & simple. I like the lines leading down to the right - they stand out nicely in B&W.

Sorry about that I guess I should have included what kind of critique. I suppose I would like to known how some people feel about the composition I was really proud of this one as it stands out among several of my other images. The B&W conversion is what really made it work for me. What could I have done to maybe improve this shot?

As I said, it was a pretty neat shot...I like the even distribution of light, the slight darkness on the sides gives a vignetting effect, the leading lines is stand out, but something is missing, my eye is not satisfied to look at the fence only, there is no point of focus, I suggest in the next shots like this try to incorporate a subject where the eye can rest.
