Beautiful work. As far as I'm concerned it's fine to use as much photoshop as you like unless the photo is for journalistic purposes.

I've never heard of Bill Vaccaro before - off to have a look.

Congrats on the top 10. This is just another in a long line of incredible pictures from your fertile photographic mind. Reminds me of pilings along the Columbia River in Oregon I've always wanted to photograph.

Impurity? I have thought a lot about where to draw the line on post processing. I am a bit torn between approaching the original as a base to work with like Ansel Adams compared to the score and the finished product would be the performance to the more Puritan view.

At the moment I think it's up to every photographer to decide where to draw the line and what's feels right.

Anyway you have achieved interesting results.

I like the mood in this shot. The way you choosed to frame the shot seems just right to me. The lenght of the peer on the right creates positive tension in the composition.
