I know the fence might be considered disturbing by many, but it makes me wonder - is there any fence that is not actually disturbing? (I went for keeping it and called it a self-portrait, I would greatly appreciate any comments and critique.) Thank you for viewing.
(PS: I know that according to the rules I should have left more space to the right, since that's where the animal seems to be looking, but I tried a crop that would give the feeling of trying to step away and head for disappearing out of the frame.)

I wonder if you have seen rontear's latest upload? Pictures of caged animals are always disturbing, there as here I see a very determined individual determined to stay on top of the situation. I suspect that the mesh is for our protection.
The close crop on the right adds to the cooped-up feel. With more space it would no doubt satisfy a camera club judge better, but it wouldn't have the same power.

...fence in/fence out? if it's there shoot it...often you can set the aperture to fog it out anyway.Add a Comment
