Two Subjects (Weekly Photo Challenge)
I think WordPress came up with an interesting subject this week. In fact so interesting that I think I’ll post a second post for this challenge later – I still have a lot of photos from France that needs post-processing and some of them might be suitable.
Two Subjects. This “theme” is more of a composition challenge.
Here’s my entry for the weekly photo challenge this week:
Make sure to check out Roobo69′s contribution, he has some very nice photos.

This is a good one! Wonderful DoF … good choice!
btw, your current header here in the blog is beautiful beyond words..
April 13, 2012 at 20:46
Thanks Reb. I had to look up DoF – I didn’t know about this acronym. So I found this website that explained it to me: http://www.secondpicture.com/tutorials/photography/meaning_of_depth_of_field.html
Thanks for broadening my acronym repertoir
Thank you for your kind words about my header. The header consist of a photo that I shot at The Western Wall and an ancient drawing of Jerusalem. I used photoshop to combine the two.
April 14, 2012 at 08:59
Här säger de DoF hela tiden, så hemma skulle jag inte ens veta vad det kallas eftersom jag inte höll på med foto där. När jag var hemma i höstas, höll jag på att säga lens flera gånger om objektiv.

Wow, a scary picture. I first thought the person in the background was a biker…
But anyway, it is so easy to miss those barbed wires! They are very dangerous
April 14, 2012 at 09:31
Not as dangerous as razor wire
April 14, 2012 at 09:34
I like the focus on the barb wire. Great job!
April 14, 2012 at 09:59
Thank you Lonely!
April 15, 2012 at 07:54
Great composition! I like the juxtaposition of the barbed wire and the hikers passing!
April 14, 2012 at 13:46
Thank you Teresita. As we were walking along the trail, I knew that the barbed wire would make an excellent photo opportunity.

I like this A LOT, and I’d love to see it in B/W or as a duotone.
Very nice!
April 14, 2012 at 15:33
Thank you Allan, I’ll see if I can post a duotone and/or B/W version later
April 15, 2012 at 08:01
Added a B/W version for you now

Thanks Madhu. I also felt that this photo was suitable for this weeks challenge.

There’s a certain sense of serenity vs. danger in this piece. Like it!
April 15, 2012 at 17:16
I see what you mean suburbia. The barbed wire kind of creates a feeling that you’re trespassing, or entering some territory that you shouldn’t have.

I really like the composition and hope you win. I know b/w is fashionable but think in this case you loose too much when you loose the colour.
April 15, 2012 at 20:18
Hi Rose.
Thanks for commenting
I also prefer the coloured one. The colours are earthy & subtle, plus there’s not enough contrast between the light & shadows to turn this into a really interesting B/W photo.
You don’t win anything when you participate in WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge, you just get to showcase your photos and interact with your readers & fellow bloggers. So in one sense, we all win – but there’s no grand prize or anything.

This is the second barbed wire shot I’ve seen for this challenge. I’ve always liked barbed wire, not sure why though. Of these two shots, I prefer the color one. To me the person in the background stands out a little more and the colors are so wonderful. Great entry for the challenge this week!
April 15, 2012 at 23:01
Thanks for a good comment where you explain what you like & why – it’s highly appreciated. This is the second barbed wire shot you see in this photo challenge, but hopefully I posted it first

I’ve been taking lots of pictures of wire fence like this and now you give me more inspiration for such this theme! Thank you!
Love your picture!
April 16, 2012 at 01:21
Thanks Inge, I’m glad to hear that I can be inspirational.
I like the header in your blog with the close-up photo of the wired fence: it’s artistic & the colours are good.
April 16, 2012 at 19:36
You are very most welcome and thanks to you as well for liking my header.
I set it sepia color but unfortunately I forgot to decrease its exposure value. A friend of mine said it is to flat.
But I like it though. I have to keep in mind about the exposure value.
April 16, 2012 at 19:42
We live and we learn, and hopefully we turn into better & wiser human beings in the process.
April 16, 2012 at 19:46
Absolutely agree! Thanks for the support!

Personally I loved the color version… I took a similar picture recently…but the background for it was much barren n dry..
April 16, 2012 at 10:56
Thanks Thoughts. Did you post the picture in your blog? If so: please drop a link.
Love your photos of Agra Fort, it’s a beautiful place. We stopped there on our way to Taj Mahal.

Hi Cardinal, I did publish that picture and thank you for reviving it for me. I wanted to publish it but it completely slipped my mind..
here’s the link to the picture i took..

I like the B&W version the best but I think the color version is better because it’s easier to see the people in the back. Either way, I really like the focus on the barbed wire. Very nice composition!
Mine are here:

Thanks Michael. If I could shoot the same photo again, I would have focused even more detailed on the spikes of the barbed wire, but time wasn’t on my side.
April 16, 2012 at 19:43
Definitely a photo of two great halves. I prefer the colour shot with the person in the background, the b&w without the person, or the tree!
April 16, 2012 at 23:14
Colour wins

What a wonderful shot, Cardinal! I admit I prefer the monochrome. There’s a certain charm about black and white…
April 27, 2012 at 06:18
Glad you like it. B/W can be charming, but personally I don’t think it suits this photo so well.
April 27, 2012 at 10:56
nice… prefer the B/W version…
