Hiding in Plain Sight

I was walking in a village and came across some women roguing in a wheat field. The married women were dress in cool sari attire. Their daughters, on the other hand, are bundled up until after marriage. I thought to myself these girls are hiding in plain sight. Barbed wire encircled the plot and when I took the shot and wanted that faint line of nearly invisible barbed wire in the foreground to signify the girls were kept in more ways than one.
