Many subjects lend themselves to emotive photography and one of those subjects is definitely barbed wire. By choosing such a subject (and shooting it well) one can definitely evoke an emotional response in a photograph. We think these photographs have done exactly that.

Really a nice selection here. A subject I like to shoot as well.
Very nice, but you need a few in infrared. ;o)
Awesome shots … encourages me to get out and try some of these styles on the nearby farmlands.
Here is one I took near Beechmont Old School and digitally enhanced
oops didn’t do it right :-S
Loved seeing the unique ways in which each photographer captured the barbed wire.
Very Good
Here’s one of the first pics I captured with my first DSLRhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=136424799716350&set=a.135744399784390.21719.100000464914034&type=1
Really enjoyed the barbed wire pics! As a ‘collector,’ I always appreciate its beauty.
Some very nice images there. . I often go out and get so tied up looking for big sweeping vista, that I forget how just shooting the small details can have such an impact (and are also much closer to find)!
Fine shots. Here’s the nicest one I’ve taken:

Nothing special, but I finally have something to share here! It’s a phone pic that I took with the idea that I might be able to layer it onto something else sometime…
Let’s try this again…
