Broken Fence - revisited
A slightly different composition from todays re-shoot

As one who liked the POV of the original, I appreciate the slight slide down the hill but miss the slope off to the left. It somehow becomes more tame even if the composition is stronger in the foreground and by placing the trees higher in the picture.
To me this is better in every way.
The stronger contrast between the white fence and the ground enhances the readability and helps structuring the image. The fence remainings at the foreground now are immediately identifiable and are easier to link with the rest of the fence. Their alignment with the white fence participates in the structure. It is a more cohesive while, telling a story of demolition. The tracks have lost a lot of importance, further clarifying the picture. you have chosen your subject this time.
the darker tonality works very well in creating a more striking impression.
The tonality definitely works better in this shot. Actually I could repeat Stephane's comment in its totality. The changes are all minor, but there are a lot of them and they do add up. Much more to hold the attention here.
The revisited version completely changes my initial interpretation. Only a slight change in angle has made that gap in the fence seem blocked off by the trees in the back and the upright post blocking the path. I prefer the composition of the former and the tonality of this version.
Although I miss the tracks in the foreground on the previous version of this image, I like aspects of this one better. Agree that the tonality is improved.
