My husband working to rebuild the shed in our backyard; he is a carpenter by trade, also...I wanted to highlight his back and especially, his hand and arm...the vertical grain just seemed to add something intangible to the image when it was applied, so I did keep it...taken at sunset with sunlight hitting a few areas in the shed...levels, curves, shadow/highlight, vertical grain, multiply adjustment layer, usm, cropped.

I like this - though those triations will attract much criticism i don't doubt, and I admit they are confusing. The 'light' is unsettling - actually, the more I look, the more it unsettles - because of its unnaturalness, rather than its selectivity. The fade to black and the highlights just don't seem real. It was attractive at first, but it begins to annoy quite quickly now.
I like this but the grain texture doesn't add. It doesn't really detract either, so no points off for it. I like the minimal coloration. The diagonal line of the 2 X 4 adds a nice bit of geometry.
