The horse can barely be made out, unfortunately.

I think your time era statement would have been stronger with some more costuming of the rider ... maybe a cowboy hat, long coat, holster and gun, etc.

They had t-shits in 1872? Nice sky.

i feel the t shirt doesnt fit here, and the sky looks over saturated or something. a more nature color gradient in the sky and a full silhouette would do this idea justice.

One day a man dreamed of building a house of wood. It appears he has moved on to bigger dreams.

I am somewhat torn with this image. It´s a little dark for my taste and the gradient sky or wignetting is a bit too strong for my taste. On the other hand the sepia toning works very well and this photo really stands out from most others in the challenge and you have excellent textur ein the building and this is very interesting.

Gave the shot an 8.
