Nice detail here B :)...did you use a close up lens for this one?

no just the kit lens. It took a couple tries to get the right distance but I like how it turned out :)

Imagine the sick mind that invented that but I guess it keeps the tetanus shot business going:rolleyes:

not so much sick as practical (at least that's how it's viewed). Barbed wire is a cheap, low maintenance method of fencing that works well for cattle. It's a disaster to use for horses because they just will wreck themselves on it. Not something I would ever have on a property of mine! However, around here you have to be careful as no ever bothers to remove it. This particular strand was above a rock wall separating a meadow from the woods. I suspect it's been there for over a decade.

I have been out riding and had horses caught in it because it was under the grass and they caught themselves on it. When that happens you find out two things very quickly: one: is my horse sensible or will he fight and wreck his legs and two: does he trust me to sort this out for him.

love the contrast of the rusted metals tones with the background bokeh
