I went for a walk today along the LA River hunting for Photos. I have fun with barbed wire. It just seems so evil and un-trusting and so typical of living in Los Angeles these days. I thought the natural beauty of the sunset, with the peaceful flight of the birds would be a great juxtaposition against the jagged barbed wire. Speaking of the birds, isn't it amazing that I managed to get two birds perfectly arranged in the photo?!? Okay... I can't lie, they're pasted from another photo from today. :)

Great picture Paul! The colours are beautiful and I love how you've captured the birds!

A perfect catch!

What a unique perspective. The birds are a nice touch.

Expertly done .. the contrast between the birds and the harsh wire is intriguing. the colors are excellent.

Excellent job of placing the birds, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would not have guessed that they weren't in the original. The razor wire against the sunset makes for a lot of stories that could go along with this image. hmmmm....

Great image Paul. I think this would work just as wall without the birds. The razor wire against the sunset is pretty interesting.

LOL! I was thinking that this was amazing luck that they flew by as you were there! Nice work though!
