Lucked out finding this old homestead while shooting a nearby electrical power plant at sunrise. The cattle roaming into the frame gave it just that little extra, I thought. Also like the really earthy limited color tones.

Gave it a slight rotate, heavy crop and then minor adjustments to levels, brightness/contrast and saturation. Finished a bit of USM.

This is a great building, in a wonderful environment with the added interest of the cattle. Unfortunately the border is a bit distracting to me.

Don't think your border is legal but otherwise a nice image...
I might have cropped out the short grass right at the bottom.

Interesting entry.. good composition, although it would have been even better if the cattle had looked up at you. I like the colours - bright and yet not over saturated, but I'm sorry I do not like the frame at all.

I like this shot in that it really oozes "rural culture". The color distinctly places it in either morning or evening which, to me, adds a sense of calm or laxitude.

I do have to say that I think that the boarder distracts from the image. It's color is close enough to the general color of your image that it gets lost and tends to distract the eye from your subject.

I'm not a fan of the border on this one. 6 as it is, and could have been 7 or even 8 without the border. You have a great eye.

this is a really cool shot except I feel the interior borderis a bit distracting.
