Lost Its Usefulness

I can remember a number of years ago when a neighboring farmer put up this fence to fence in a pasture for his cattle. As you can see it is no longer needed.

Awesome shot

[👑 AnaZad]

Wonderful capture with great textures and tones, plus contrast of the hard wood with the snow.

[Danette Thompson]

The image provokes thought.

[Maggiemae]

Its really rather beautiful - this post with sagging barbed wire especially with the snow behind!

[tony gig]

Wonderful shot Skip...

Love the way you've processed this. Great capture.

Love the clarity of the texture in the weathered fence post, the softness of everything else! Definitely a fav!

This is beautiful. Great composition and processing. Fav!

I like this. It is desolate, and with a whole bunch of textures. I like the misty blurred background and the contrasting wire. The wire is stronger at top and then seems to get faint or towards the bottom and that adds to it too.

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Fav, love this a lot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It was needed for this beautiful shot though! Soft as snow.

[Kim]

Wonderful composition of this beautiful shot, Skip!

[Richard Sayer]

[Margaret Brown]

[Sally Ings]

Love the simpleness of this. Instant fav

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely comp and capture FAV!

[Milanie]

Your use of dof is wonderful here. Love the sharp vs. soft, white vs. dark, smooth vs. texture - for such a simple shot there is so much here.

[Nicole]

gives a very pretty picture with the snow!

[Paula McLaughlin]

Very lovely scene with the mist as background!

[Hazel]

Skip, you have some great 'snowy' shots. I read your profile and I do the same - respond to a comment by giving a comment to the giver's photo. I really couldn't cope with anything else on a regular basis. (I do sometimes comment on a comment if I feel I have something worth saying.) fav

@quietpurplehaze - Even doing that Hazel at times can be still be overwhelming!
