I can dig it...I like the idea. I would straighten it, make sure there is equal space top and bottom, tone down the two highlight areas (especially the far left) to get some detail. Cool shot.

Ah yes...try it in black and white with increased contrast IMO

You can dig it, Charlie? =)

Digging is what I do best Mishele...well almost what I do best

That's kinda fun!

If it were me, I'd tighten up your horizontals.

I'm trying but I stink and staighting and cannot seem to even get close in elements to it being straight.

I might like it because it's not perfect.

Fixed highlights, up contrast and changed to B&W. I like both ways but prefer the color version. What do you think?

 

[charlie76]

Gotcha...Ive taken many shots like this...with uneven horizontal patters. The trick is to find the right *tilt* so all the uneven horizontals balance in a pleasing way...order out of chaos! You will never get them all to be perfectly horizontal..so just balance the left-leaning and the right-leaning...and bingo

Color!!

 

[revenater]

Thanks Charlie I will see if I can figure it out.

Does Elements have "crop>perspective" option?

 

[revenater]

Bitter your a genius. Is this better?

Definitely the color, but I think I'd like it tilted a little more than the original. (See? You can't please everyone!)
