Grass, barbed wire and sunset

Tonight I tried the same spot as yesterday, but slightly changed the subjects:

Sunset grass:



Two types of barbs:



Barbed fence:



Tall grass at sunset:

I really like to two types of barbs pic
Nice clarity. I like how the fence barbs are out of focus. Great shots.

Thanks for looking!

I love the concept and composition of the 3rd shot but the grass seems to suffer from being just a touch on the soft side of focus. Also, the twig sticking off horizontally to the the left edge is begging to be cloned out as it really disrupts the eyes movement along the barbed wire and out into the distance.

The 4th shot is very nice but not as intersting as the composition of the 3rd shot.

I agree :-)

Appreciate your comment!
I'm sure I'll be there again some time soon, I'll try to reshoot...

I, too, like the concept of the 3rd shot, but I know you can do better, Nik! I really like the 4th shot. The barbed wire against the soft muted layers of hills and light really works well for me. Looks like a neat area to shoot in.

Thanks, I appreciate the confidence!

Cheers!
