Red Plant
I took this photo near the Monterey Bay Aquarium, this fence overlooked a part of the bay where some seals were resting on the beach.The first and most obvious reason why I like this photo is the rich and intense color of the plants. I'm also always drawn to examples of nature overcoming man-made things. It's amazing how the chain link fence is worn and rusted from the salt water in the air while the plant is vibrant and full of life.
I have no idea what type of plant this is but the 'leaves' look like thick cut french fries or potato wedges dipped in ketchup.

i like the idea and composition. The colors look a little too saturated and reddish. It also might work better as a black and white.
yepp, the composition looks good, also the corrosion in the fence ( reminds me mars land) the Red is emphasized...
looks good...
Great photo with the fence strangled with the plant.
I like the composition and the combination of the rusted fence with the plant.
I really like photos that show nature mingled with man-made objects. This is a wonderful example. Great vivid colours captured here.
Thanks for the comments.
Ian- I didn't really consider b+w because I thought the colors were too rich to give up.
funny when I saw this I thought nature overcoming all obstacles then read your words to the same effect
I love the vibrant colors!
I like how the plant and the fence almost look like they are one organism.
Thanks for the comments.
I think I could fill a book with all my nature vs. man images.
This is another great photo! In the end the plant will win, the metal fence will turn to dust.
It's great to be able to see plant life from all over that one normally wouldn't see. This is great, the color are superb.
Thanks for the comments,
Wolf-that's a safe bet, I'm sure this wasn't the first fence they had up.
Micki-good point, another benefit of global photoblogs.
Totally cool shot. I like taking pictures of plants or scenery - they don't move - lol...Still have to learn when to push the button with moving objects :)
Thanks eph2810.
