Better than ever!

I still find that fence line distracting, but less so with the brighter 
sun. Now its only noticable on the right where the shadowed side is 
facing the camera.

I'll have to look at the original again, but I think you've made a trade 
off on the wood textures with the brighter sunlight.  The highlights on 
the trim look much better, but the grain isn't as visible on some of the 
flat areas.
