Taken on a short bike ride away from my home. I must remember that there are sometimes worthwhile shots to be had around here. Good challenge for that.
Wish there were blue skies so I could keep the color, but I guess not.
Prediction (never actually been close yet): 5.35

My first impression was "Cool subject, nasty colors." ;-)
I really like the composition of this with the silos falling on the right third of the shot. The provide a nice vertical contrast to the horizontal "motion" from the barn. I also like that the whole barn isn't showing, though I'm not sure why. The only suggestion I would make is to have more space in the foreground. If there is a path or anything going to the barn, include it to give the eye something to follow. (If there is not, get out and make one!! [just kidding]).
'Bout this coloring. The "sepia" is a good idea. I just think that it is perhaps too much yellow. It looks jaundiced. Maybe a bit more red to give it a more orangie look, or back way down on the saturation so that it is more bw with a hint of yellow. That is, of course, just my opinion, but the yellow is so bold, it almost detracts from the subject of the picture -- which fits this challenge nicely!
