 A run down old shed behind and equally run down old house somewhere near Greenville, Texas. Photographed during a DPC get together with Bergiekat and Kawesttex. Thanks to Kat for suggesting we stop here.

Pre-challenge notes:
No real guess as to how this will do. Maybe a mid-5. It's easy to make anything sepia, but harder to find something appropriate that is enhanced by it. I don't often do sepia because I don't often run into something where I feel it is the best choice.

Post-challenge notes:
Did a bit better than I expected. I may have been able to squeeze a little more pointage out of it if I'd given it a heavier dose of sepia, but I wanted the detail to be the star and a heavier dose of sepia overpowered that detail.

Almost looks a little bit overprocessed but still beautiful.

This kind of looks more b&w than sepia.

This is my kind of emotive pic. I love this!

Would like to see it slightly more sepia though!
