This is a fine example of how the "hand of man" aka.....fence.....can add so much to the image. It certainly helps to demonstrate that bird and man share the surroundings. It's an interesting image.....especially with the dragonflies.
I think the fence really adds to the image Love seeing man made objects so well integrated Personally I think it is harder than just a plain clean bg !!!! Big Congrats Jim !!!
Great composition Jim I agree the fence adds such a wonderful dimension to this image and really is a fine example of how we can all live together. The dragonflies are a great bonus too. Beautiful work !!
