as far as a critique goes,black and white does work the best here,showing the age i suppose, i do like the the way you took it from ground level,definetly different, but there are alot of little distractions ,first the level is off,and the garbage in front is out of focus,and the corner is way too busy with stuff,its what leads the eye to the corner and makes the viewer trying to guess whats in that pile,yet the old fence is your title,i would of cropped closer to the fence and not cut off the big tree that sits over it. otherwise alot of potential,.

Love the B&W and the darkness of the image.

Don't like the tilt, the too shallow DoF and I wish to top of the tree wasn't cut off.

Overall I'd say you have a good start on a very good image but you are going to have to reshoot.
