 This is our fence and is in need of MUCH repair but being a contractor I never seem to find the time to do things around my own home. Isn't that the way for most people when they're required to do something at home that they do all day? I'll be fixing it this summer now that my wife has seen the photos of how bad it is.

The edit:
De-saturation to B&W
Contrast boost
Shadow boost
Crop
USM 203%
Added Black border
Resize for web

This is a very good b&w capture. I think your contrast is good too.

Nice image. I like your use of selective focus here it is well done. There just seems to be a wee bit to much noise (imo).

very nice idea and comp, but the grain/noise does not do anything for me personally though i realize it might very well be intentional on your part

I am not sure if the blur enhanses or detracts from the photo.

Subjectively, I care neither for the DOF nor the grain. Decent composition, though.
