Very nice..excellent BG, action and the rusty barbwire adds some nice contrast. I will have to re-visit this one on my other computer/monitor to get a better view of what appears to be an excellent image.

I hope you guys have all these great shots framed on a wall in your home (maybe two walls!) They're so enjoyable to view.
