I arrived at one of my schools early this afternoon so I drove on down the road to see if I could find a suitable subject for today’s photo. I found a field containing about 30 horses but sadly they all seemed far more interested in munching the grass than posing for me. Just as I was about to walk away I wondered whether the barbed wire fence might make an interesting subject and framed up this shot, using a shallow depth of field to focus on one of the knots.

I'm a sucker for a fence post - and barbed-wire only makes it better! Great focus, bokeh, and shadow on the post! djnana · 2010-10-21: 10:37

Lovely - wouldn't want to get stuck climbing that fence. ????? · 2010-10-21: 11:54
