Comment by epescala:
The texture of the wood is amazing, and the shot is beautifull. I would have liked it better for the challenge if that green/yellow thint wasnt there. It still gets a 10 from me!

Comment by nlghttrain:
nice angle. If the fence was black it would have fit the challenge a bit better.

Ahhh very nice composition and subject matter! Nice lighting and detail, too. I wish it looked a tad more b/w, but still a great image.

Thanks everyone for kind words and the votes. It figures, the one time I forget to put my processing steps in the comment section and I ribbon. Here are the steps I used.

1. Convert from raw using Raw Shooters Essentials
Exposure Comp [+1.23]
Highlight Contrast [22]

2. Post process with Paint Shop Pro X
One step noise reduction
Clarify [+20]
USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3]
USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3]
Levels [input 0-.94-255 / output 0-241]
Curve - slight S curve to set black point
Resize
USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3]
USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3]

The HDR effect came from the very strong clarify action. On most images, using clarify over a strength of 7 or 8 will provide nasty over processing artifacts. The max setting of 20 seemed to work well for this image.
