Always wanted to shoot this old truck when I drove by --- it hasn't moved from this spot in several years. I'll probably get some 'doesn't look like a cowboy', but I thought the title would tie it in further. If we only had cowboy boots ... instead of Crocs.

Very nice shot and I love the processing.

Love the processing here, beautiful image. You were right about it being a little off-topic. If it were just a *normal* cowboy challenge I bet it would have done better, but since this was a memorial thing tastes ran more to the overtly emotional, even clichéd, approach.

Excellent work regardless, I like it very much.

Brilliantly composed, framed and processed. The colors are beautiful. An eight for you.

Common theme here. I like the lighting and color. I'd like to see the face. Not much other than the hat linking the person to a cowboy. What is that, red bricks on the pickup truck?

Nice colours and editing. I'd prefer to see their face, for a bit more connection with the image.

Speaks to the current cowboy with your choice of truck and building, for sure. The lady is the key component of that hooks with the title...why hide her face? That's really my only major nit with this. Still one of my top choices. Good luck in the challenge.
