This is another weird picture. I tried to give some interest with the way the guardrail was shown. I think it is quite successfull but I'd like to know what others think.
I like it. The angle has ceated a geometric tangle, which offsets the tiling. At first I thought the bottom left pole should have been cropped out, but no, it actually creates the dynamic. And then there is that 'weird thing' in the middle, wonder what it is?

@Helen: The weir thing in the middle, is what you're protected from walking on. Some sort of electric derivation device. I don't know what it's called so let's call it an electric stuff. I also wondered about the bottom left pole, but I don't like to crop photos (perhaps out of laziness) so I try to make the composition "work" without any cropping. And actually, I had a film camera until not so long, so cropping wasn't an option, sort of a habit.
There is a little vignetting and I would have loved a little more brightness/contrast (But not using the Brightness/Contrast buttons in Photoshop)

@Shuva Brata Deb: Yep, There's vignetting T-T. But it can't be helped with a lens that's not the best used with wide aperture and a full frame camera (it is said that full frame is totally intolerant with lenses). About brightness/contrast, I think I could have more brightness controlling the exposition level, but the contrast is somehow dependant of the lighting condition? Do you know of someways to imcrease the contrast without photoshop or using the camera contrast option? (I'm not the big fan of post processing pictures for hours).
