Nice image definately says country. The sepia tones work well here. The focus is really good, and the dof used works nicely with this.

As I look at it the one thing I wonder is would it have improved greatly had you taken it at a different angle? As it is now the buildings form an L shape possible taking the bar at more of an angle would have added some interest to the entire photo or taking the milkhouse end and putting it in the front of the photo might have added more to this. As it is now you have these strong leading lines from the barn and other buildings that come to a point and there is nothing there when your eye gets there.

Overall it is a very eye pleasing image and does meet the challenge well.

Nice photo. Definitely says "country", and all the flatland in the background makes it seem like there is nobody around for a LONG way. Would like to see the full-color version to see which one I like better.

Your post processing is great here, I love the alamost infrared feel to it. The almost over sharpening adds to the desolate feel to the shot.

Everything's in focus. The nightshot really adds a flair to this photo. Good job!

I like that lonely, middle of NO where look. I like that very much. The middle of Wyoming, Montana, S.D., Oregon.....love that. This is a nice shot, just a little dark and may have looked better in color. Still I do like the sepia. Hard to say since I didn't see it in real life.
