Wow, I never thought that one day I'd win a blue. Cool! Thanks for the nice comments.
This shot was taken at the Marshville Heritage Festival. Its a little historical village in Wainfleet Ontario. I actually went there for the car show but when I toured the grounds, it was there so I snapped it. I didn't have this challenge in mind when I shot it. Later when I got home though and went throught the shots, then I realized it was better than the idea I had for another shot. Glad I kept it!

I love this photo. I gave it a 10, and left a message, but my fingers must have not been working so great, and the message never came up. It brought back old memories for me when I went to Grammar school in California, especially the ink wells. The boys would often try to stick one of my pigtails in the ink well. If I remember correctly, I think the desk top used to raise up, and we kept our papers and pencils inside. Thank you for helping me remember the good old days with your nifty photo.

Now that is a classroom! I would love to teach in there! None of this whiteboard rubbish and boring windowless room I teach in now! Such inspiration in this room!

The browner tones really go nicely in this photograph.It gives it the old time feel.Much better than black and white, good choice.

Congrats on the blue. I'm not into that kind of processing usually, but it seems to work well here.

I didnt get a chance to vote on this challenge, and to be honest with you i only checked the thumbs out like 20 minutes before the challenge ended.. But this pic caught my attention! I actually said to myself "this is going to win!"

Very nice job!!! Beautiful composition, the B&W sepia works perfect here, and the textures you got from all the elements are amazing!! Very well deserved!
09/16/2009 12:12:36 AM
Nicely done but a little grain would have made it exceptional. 'gratz on a well deserved blue.

AWESOME! Is this the Historic Schoolhouse in Strawberry, AZ? My wife and I were just there a couple weeks ago (it's also a virtual geocache). I wish I could have made the trip back up to shoot for this challenge!

Brilliant entry -- hope it makes the first page; one of my favorities in this challenge for sure -- especially since I think I was just there recently! ;)
