 This challenge was a bit confusing for me and made me wish I'd taken more art classes. :) In any event, I think I finally found some implied lines and have a photo that meets the challenge definition. Adjustments were curves, saturation, and tone compensation. I resized, sharpened, and selectively softened some hot spots that were a bit oversharpened and/or overexposed. I also cloned out a white tarp at the bottom of the cornfield in the upper left-hand corner that was overexposed.

Lovely composition. Beautiful colors. Technically perfect. Reminds me of time I spent in the country as a kid. Makes me want to take a long walk there. Among my top 5 picks.

Amazing detail throughout the image, and the fenceline does a great job of leading the eye through the frame. Great composition and lighting!

The implied lines are not as obvious in this shot as in some of the others but they are there. It looks as of the image has been oversharpened, or is that some other intentional process? What makes this shot for me is the colours and the lighting, which both combine to give the shot depth. The fence posts and the tracks lead you into the shot, the patches of light and shade break up the middle ground so it doesn't look boring or empty, by then you are into the trees and the far trees on the hillside. Good work a six from me.

This is a beautiful shot but it's way oversharpened as evidenced by the white halos throughout.

Very nice DOF, colors, and clarity. The fence-line and road lead your eye into the picture very well. I might have flipped the picture so the left front corner is the start point for the fence/road. I gave you my only (9) for taking a great picture. Good work.
