Friday's Fences

I was out this past Tuesday taking some additonal photos of a barn I intend to post for Barn Charm on Monday. It so happened this fence post with its barbed wire and vines was in my field of view while trying to get the barn pics so I thought I'd use it for Friday's Fences. I really didn't like the composition at all but after playing around with it I added a texture and played with different blending modes to achieve what you see. It's growing on me.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ahead!
Linking to Friday's Fences.

    I like how you can just make out the mail pouch sign on the background barn. Nice DOF.

    I rather like this. I like the sharp focus of the vine and barbed wire, and the soft focus of the barn.

    Hi Carletta... You did a great job of getting the barn and the fence in the same picture... Love the Mail Pouch barns.. They remind me of the See Rock City ones in our area... Great fence post!!!
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    The sign in the background intrigues me, hope that it is part of the barn post that's coming . You are doing amazing things with texture.

    Outstanding job. One day I'll learn how to get the background blurry and the subject focused. I love photos done like this :)

    This is extremely clever! The weeds sticking out past the fence post and signage on the barn... Marvelous!

    Love the outcome of your playful activity the other day. This shot is great, now. Never cull a shot. There is always a way to create a piece of art from it. genie

    Very artful composition. Quite like that hazy barn background as it really emphasizes the fence post subject. I read someplace to never delete photos after just looking at them through the view finder. Amazing what you can get once they're uploaded and "played with" just a bit.
