Interested in what other people think. I did some editing, but can't remember how I got it to look like this. I don't know my editing very well, so I just try all kinds of things and when I like something I save it. I did something with dodge/burn...

Love it. Nice colors, composition, well actually it doesn't have any "thought" in it so it is just nice to watch :)

OK this is an interesting phenomenon to observe. As a right handed individual I feel that my left hand is pinned to the fence and my free right hand has no where to travel except out of frame. Not a problem but a sensory experience I have when viewing this image.

In terms of composition and execution I like it. I think it has a nice balance of elements between the sky, fence, and field. The color is subtle and the light a tad flat from cloud cover.

I enjoyed looking at your shot, what drew my eye was the texture that you've exposed in the wooden fence posts. I'd probably bring the blue in the sky up a bit further and selectively saturate the flowers to give them a bit more pop, but that's just me.

So I'm not the only one that feels 'pinned' to the fence!
The sky was quite gray that day, so there was very little blue to begin with.
I will try working on the flowers.
Thanks everyone!

Nice shot, I enjoy shooting stone fences here where I live. I have one on my website.

I think that if the left hand side of the image started with the post, and showed no rails, it would help - you want the eye to go forward, not back. If it had "ended" at about the bottom right rule of thirds spot, (more pasture on the right) that it would help a lot with the "nowhere to go" issue.

Nice shot! If you want more blues, adjust them specifically in your saturation tools. It will help the sky.

Isn't a stone fence just a wall? :)

A fence, weather it is wood or stone is a barrier intended to prevent escape or intrusion or to mark a boundary. And in my case, there are a lot of old historical stone fences in the area which were used to do just that.
