This is the third (of four) shots of one of the groyne's at Fleetwood (the first two are here and here), and while it's probably the most understated of the four, I do still like it. And if you read the description/comments on the first one I posted: this is the 'detail shot' that Jason were trying to capture.

I think I like this one the best, David - it is much more a "Chromasia" shot than the other ones. Whatever you did to it in post processing, it worked ;)

very nice and very subtle.

I did a similar but vertical version of a fence post in Palm Springs:

I see you used the Topaz Detail plugin for processing, I used the Luminosity Mask technique for mine:

Nice... the detail that your processing brings out is pretty cool. Don't know why, but I like this.

Great processing
Love colors and texture

Even though it is as simple as a piece of wood, I like this. Simple picture with subtle post-processing to bring out the details in the wood grain. I like how you added some warmth to the image as well.

Thanks everyone.

Dan: I used luminosity masking for this one too :)
