This is a nice picture. I like the mountain in the background. Nicely focused, it shows what detail there is in the "weathered" fencing. Some of the weedy bottom part of the picture is a little undesirable and could have been cropped out.

Beautiful picture! Reminds me of when we lived in Wyoming in the States. I really like it that the colours are not so intense, but soft. The picture is nice and clear.

Who in their right mind would give this image a 1? This image is at least as good as mine, and I'd venture to say probably better. Very nice work!!!

Oh wow. This stirs emotions with me as my grandpa flew for the Flying Tigers in China. Good shot, but it seems to be a bit over compressed.

Thanks (to all) for the wonderful comments! I was definitely lucky to have a chance to capture this shot... I actually shot it through one of the openings of a wire mesh fence while stopped on the side of the highway.

And while it would have been fantastic to have 'placed' with a ribbon, I'm pleasantly pleased that it performed as well as it did. In retrospect, I might have performed slightly better if I had cropped a bit tighter (to remove the snow at the lower left corner). My take on it was that it put the entire scene in perspective, and gave it more of a sense of place and reality. I've tried it both ways, and I'm still not sure I would have done things differently.

The surprising piece to me was that there were as many votes in the 1-3 point range... (I guess some folks just must have been jealous? :-) ).
