Impressive! I do like that shot but cannot make out why. That blue sky certainly plays a part in it...

Nice contrast, bold lines and direction.
I like it from the very first moment.

Love the blue, and the texture and lines in the wood. Great shot!

For me its the textures of the old wood against the pure blue sky that make this picture.

Thanks for the comments everyone

These 'tree trunk defences' also appear in my entry for the 'History' competition.

The shots were taken at the opposite ends of the day.
