About the Image(s)

As I am limited in going out for new photos I went back to one of my driftwood shots and wanted to see how it looked in mono. Original 1 is what the camera gave me and original 2 is what I settled on in color. I'd love to get your opinions. My usual post processing of haze removal, sharping, etc. but when I went to mono I really jacked up the contrast and worked to increase the exposure differences in highlights and shadows.

I took the shot with my Canon R; 50mm prime lens at f/16, 1/160 sec exposure and ISO at 160.
