I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at. With the barbed wire, I can surmise
something is on the otherside but again, I know not what.

Do you have a different crop? Perhaps one that better defines the
theme? Otherwise, the picture does nothing for me.

I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking at.It's church' roof and cross.

I got your message. I have another, better crop, but there roof isn't focused, only wire. Damn!

There's nothing wrong with depth of field. Sometimes it can help
communicate and idea. In this case, the wire could represent the barrier
to freedom. Might work better.

If you don't mind, please post it over in the landscape forum and let's
have a look see.

I see what you were trying to accomplish here with the barb wire and the church, but I think you have too much barb wire so it makes it too busy and detracts from the actual subject. I also dislike how the wire cuts through the church.

I would suggest if you had to have this much to shoot with a much wider (smaller number) f-stop to shorten the depth of field to blur the barb wire, or to use only two wires, by zooming in, to "frame" the subject.

Thanks to all for responses.
Yesterday it's cleared up that I deleted the second file (with wire below the cross). Tryed to recover it, but unsuccessfully.

It seems, I have no luck with this shot. Maybe in the next time. :wxwax
