I really like Robert's different post processing technique he uses for select photos. This photo was originally a nice photo shot in auto exposure mode using natural lighting. The photo was shot along the Roaring Fork Motor Trail in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Robert then extracted the fence and some surrounding grass, and placed it in a layer on top of a gradient background. He then applied took a section of the remaining photo, applied a box frame around it, and applied a drop shadow onto the gradient "background". See some other creative ideas of Robert's at his Flickr site or more "Out of Bounds" photos at the Flickr Pool
