Rhythmical fence distortion...

I concede that a close-up shot of construction site safety and security fencing is not at the top of most photographers’ location wishlists. For me, the projected shadow on the surface of the material covering the fence was the big draw. It creates a gentle, shimmering and contrasting mood to what is basically an everyday abstract shape. The rhythmical lines of the metal fencing have been distorted in their shadow form by a low winter sun shining on to the surface of the loose fitting material, creating a criss cross pattern of distorted shadow lines. A shallow depth of field helps to exploit the composition with the background winter trees against the blue sky, adding another layer of contrast.
