Beauty & the Beast

Couldn't resist the Title, what do you think.
Hope this is the right forum to show this, not realy a Landscape but didn't fit the bill for anywhere else.

Regards, Alan.

Hi Alan
Like the title + shot.
Think I'd prefer just a straight crop on first. For me the brightening of the leaves etc is not working.
Looks a little soft. Has it been sharpened ?

Chuck....many thanks for your comments & suggestion.
The crop was softened purposely to try and overcome the harsh cruel sharpness of the barbed wire and bring a dreamy peaceful look into the image...
Kind regards, Alan.
