Yep, to my one good eye the Un-4 is good.  The problem, as stated by
others, is the highlights of the fence competing with the highlights of the
leaves.  The leave veins need to be quite white while the fence parts need
to be burned back.  Light green areas of the fence are too white in the
transition and shouldn't be considered highlights, IMO.
