Working The Lines

I didn't want to miss out on the ROL. But this is straight from my gear. I did not edited the picture to do the ROL, The sun was actually on top of me when i was walking beside the road. I saw this tree and started looking for angles where the sun is not direct to my gear.

The first two pictures i only played around with colors and saturation. The third picture is the original picture. What do u guys think ?
