Stuermer General Store in Ledbetter, Tx between Houston and Austin. In continuous operation in this building since 1870. The old lady behind the counter looked almost as old as the store. Stopped to have a look around and get a cold Coke in a glass bottle.

5 - I like this and think you met the Challenge in the respect that a shot of this put into a time capsule for said year would depict the era quite well for future generations. Criticism; for true 'authenticity', I will nitpick the phone, and perhaps the shape of the Coke bottle, but yes that is nitpicking, but 'striving for perfection' is the aim, for me at least. I like the shadow at the fore, and would like to see you have incorporated that more. I think the b/w works well here but a different angle, more 'dramatic', may have made this a better photograph in my opinion.
