What’s Your Preference?

Last night I went to take a couple shots of a local field that I've been meaning to do for a while. When I got there, the sky was really boring and the lighting wasn't how I wanted it for an HDR. I was going to leave but figured since I was there I would take a couple pics anyways. Well this is a wire fence that runs around the field so I wanted to try to get part of the fence in focus, and then everything else completely out of focus. After I took it, I thought it looked kind of boring so I did a couple things in iPhoto ( I have yet to get Lightroom or understand Gimp lol) and this is what I came up with. So what do you guys think about the processing? Did I do too much? What about the actual picture, how is the position of the wire? Should more be in focus or less? And anything else you guys can think of. Thanks for any replies!
