[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The fence looks very old, due to the rust, that was surely caused very rapidly due to the proximity to the sea and probably the use of low quality paint.

But just a few years ago the fence was not there and it was really a delight to go down carefully thru those rocks all the way to the beach.

I've used quite a tilt here, first to emphasize the "aggressive behaviour" of the fence that closes the access to the sea down there; and second so as to have a convergence point of long diagonal lines, in the upper right corner.

Hello Daniel

This is a powerful image of how things are these days, either we are overprotective or we have something to actually protect against. In this case I won't even start a discussion, there are just so many opinions out there that I really don't want to stir anything up.
I like the photo though. It gives that impression of the sea being unstoppable. You may build a fence but it will eventually corrode and so on.
The exposure looks a little flat and boring, a little more colour would maybe enhance the red of the rust and I believe that would work well here.
Overall a good photo.

Hej Daniel.
I know, like everybody else that things are a bit difficult in your country. but why cant you go done there anymore? has it been private ? is it a security risk? or does it have other political reasons? you presented it very effective but I'm still curious.

hello Daniel,

The tilt works very good, it improves like you say the aggresivity of the iron and the hence. It "hurts" the nature and it's always a pity that there are such things ! great photo.
greetings, inn
