Rough score - this was easily my favourite this time around... Good placing though.

Great sillohuette, color/composition.

cool

Very simple and very effective. I have a similar shot, but it used a strange pinwheeling metal wall emplacement to keep people out of a backyard (and probably pigeons off the wall). You've got some problems with the clouds -- those on the right are blown out while those on the left are gray and kind of murky. I think I would have tried to keep more texture in the ones on the right. I'd suggest (even tho I like the color) seeing what this one looks like in B&W as well. Make it a little more stark. Good work.

I really like this shot, though the darkness on the left side bothers me a little.

very pretty blue sky, one of my favorites this week

What a great ad this would be for Amnesty International. I love it.

Interesting concept - needs more "meat" - nice shot of sky. Good color. Might have used multiple shots of the wire in a more effective design

great shot, just dont see fear
07/13/2002 05:34:00 AM
Nice picture.
07/13/2002 03:40:00 AM
nice and simple--i like this. 8-amitchell

Simple and effective.
07/12/2002 02:41:00 PM
simple, yet fits the challenge. Fear of imprisonment. Good thinking.

good image. well shot. clean. i took an image similar to this : ) .. no real suggestions for improvement. i think this could make a poster for amnesty international : ) .. mag 99.

very nice shot.. simplicity always works for me. The single strand of barbed wire silhouetted against the sky offers a nice contrast, not only in the image, but a contrast between freedom and captivity :) = 8 - jmsetzler

pretty damned awesome photo, but it doesn't exactly represent fear.
07/10/2002 07:28:00 PM
Very simple, yet it speaks so much. The sky looks incredible. Great work.

Nice, simple execution, it's a good idea, but needs the title to "rescue it". 7 Swash
07/10/2002 04:21:00 PM
beautiful picture but i dont see fear
07/10/2002 08:31:00 AM
Nice, simple composition. I was actually looking for barbed wire for my shot, but couldn't find any...so of course I like your idea.
07/10/2002 01:04:00 AM
Interesting
07/09/2002 04:33:00 PM
too much cloud top right but otherwise nice idea
07/09/2002 11:42:00 AM
classic composition, good theme, love the 'free' sky background - excellent.
07/09/2002 11:42:00 AM
Not sure how strongly it says "Fear", but it's a great pic
07/09/2002 10:42:00 AM
beautiful image...wow. seems like more barbed wire would have conveyed the 'captivity' better. 9 because I love it anyway. Lisa
07/09/2002 09:16:00 AM
I really like this shot. It is very simple and the dark twisted barb wire against the beautiful sky backdrop is an excellent contrast and gives the picture an ominous feel.
07/08/2002 10:36:00 PM
Good design.
07/08/2002 10:12:00 PM
At first, I thought the wire needed to be further up the picture, but then I decided that it may be more effective where it is because the viewer has a sense of freedom by the wide open blue sky, then it abruptly ends with the single strand of barbed wire. (Just a note: if a horse wants to be out of "captivity" a strand of barbed wire won't stop him. :-)) I like the contrast provided. karmat

You're probably getting beat up by the voters, but I think it's a nice composition and excellent, creative idea. 7
07/08/2002 05:38:00 PM
I love this but it seems a bit too overexposed. I still love it!!
07/08/2002 04:54:00 PM
Nice, simple shot. But it looks like there's dust on your lens.
07/08/2002 01:33:00 PM
Good picture, i think a deeper darker blue sky would work better.
07/08/2002 12:50:00 PM
Nicely understated. Kee
07/08/2002 11:37:00 AM
cool! : ) very... just not enough fear...
07/08/2002 10:21:00 AM
stark. eloquent.
07/08/2002 08:55:00 AM
Nice Shot!
07/08/2002 06:25:00 AM
good photo
07/08/2002 12:46:00 AM
Overall, I like this pic a lot. There is a tat too much sky so maybe a different crop. The thing that I'm having issues with is....the title saves it. Without the title I would see no fear.
