thanks for the question. the spirit in which it is asked is much appreciated.
the pic i submitted for this week's gallery is part of a project i've been working on where the 'intrusions'/'irruptions' are really the subject. here are a couple of others:

i may not have chosen the best example to show; also, i may have shown too soon since i'm still just at the exploring stage of an idea which has only local relevance.
agree with you, as a standalone image, it would be better with the out of focus guard rail oot the way.
thanks again for commenting,
