The strong diagonal of the fence line with it's golden grasses looks great.  The two sets of sprinklers are a fun addition as they disappear into the distance.

I really like the simplicity of this shot Sandy.  This is a wall hanger for sure.  A person could contemplate this scene for days.  It seems to take me back to a simpler time and place for some reason.  It tells a nice story.

Minimalist and nicely done. The little frame around the edge adds a lot. I really like how this leaves so much to the viewer's imagination. I'm unsure about all that blank, white space at the top, but maybe it would grow on me and add to the very expansive and quiet feel that this image evokes.

This is exceptional. Simple and effective. I also think it would be nice without the two BG fences.

Sandy, I often think that "less is more" and that is especially true with your WC entry.  It really speaks to me in its absence of distracting detail and masterful placement of the subject fence line.  The irrigation sprinklers fading into the distance balance the composition and add to the sense of place.  Very nice!

Pretty neat, Sandy. At first glance the irrigation systems also look like fences. This scene reminds me of the movie Fargo. "Now where did I bury that briefcase?"
