4 - Whilst I do like this shot, for the Challenge, I would like to have seen a closer view of the barn(?). A photo of this (primarily the barn) put into a time capsule, would give a sense (depiction?) of an aspect of the era/year for future generations. Yes, also, in my opinion, the year was only needed, and in fact would have made more impact to this shot in my opinion. I like what you have done with the desaturation. Criticism; less of the rocks, more focus on the barn, even enhancing the 'barrenness' would have made this a better photograph in my opinion.
The foreground and background just don't seem to be related and contradict each other in a way that is unsettling. The choice of coloring seems rather odd too.
Clever use of desaturation. Interesting composition. The textures are appealing. However, the reflective white bits in the near rocks detract from the potential this image had to make a great impact--easily remedied in advanced editing, but incurable under the basic rules.
