Thanks to this beautifully wrought image - and the title (and facilitated by Google) I have just spent an interesting while looking at Pie Town photos and reading a little about them. Thank you, for a most enjoyable bit of nostalgia. This is surely the epitome of the retro theme.
Top 2, 10.
Very good lighting and pose that is a nice homage to Russell Lee's work (you made me curious so I googled and enjoyed spending some time looking at his work). I think I see the texture overlay but it is very subtle on the homesteader and the wood post (I think it is adding some color toning). Where I see it most is in the sky (it looks to be a concrete wall or wall with two shades to it). The only suggestion I would have to improve the shot and conjure up a stronger impression that the gent is a homesteader is to mayhap used a different overlay texture which would have given the skintones a look that he indeed works out in the sun (I'm basing this on the photo of Lee's Homesteader in the cornfield where he clearly has the skin tones of a man who works out in the sun and bears the marks on his face) Still a great photo but wonder if the overlay might be too subtle for some of the DPC crowd.
