    Steven,

    I loved the weathered look and the exposed grain and the strong opposing lines. The image has great ruggedness to it. The area of fence below the shadow seemed to detract from the whole, as it is not so weather stressed.

    I hope you don't mind, but I cropped some of the bottom off, and painted the less essential parts away, leaving just enough original detail to give the black a "reason to be there."

    I think this works a little better, for me anyway.

    Thanks,

    Thank you for the comments everyone. I really like what you modified, Ziggy. The bottom part below the shadow does kind of distract you from the real essential parts of the photo.

    RB. Looks like the Minarets. These are just South of Yosemite near the
    town of Mammoth Lake. Very nice!
