Fenced In or Fenced Out

Fenced In or Fenced Out

I've had this collapsing building on my "safety shot" list for months, now. Today, with very little time for a photo, I decided to put it to good use. I puzzled for a bit about how to shoot over or around the fence, since it was the shack I wanted to showcase. Finally it dawned on me that the fence would make a fantastic foreground if properly exposed. Armed with that revelation, I composed this photo through the fence. I liked how you really can't tell if the building is inside the fencing or if I'm inside the fencing, hence the title.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-5xTnpvX/0/XL/2014%2009%2003_0003%20copy-XL.jpg
Like the idea of photographing behind the fence! And thank God, then I'm not the only person with a 'safety shot' list :D
