Hi Chuck, Moose,

I was watching birds from the car and one of them went close to that fence. 
I was taken by the perspective compression with my binoculars and how the 
fence was  in sharp focus and the background nicely blurred.

The most perspective compression I could get was with the 135mm so I got out 
of the car to shoot it. As I was framing the shot a cyclist went by and 
looking up I saw another cyclist approaching. I was pleased to have an 
alternative so I waited and included him in the shot. I then screwed up by 
walking away without taking the shot that I originally intended of just the 
fence and blurred background.

I think the shot that got away was better but I do love that fence.

Thanks for looking .
