 This is a recreation of a colonial era dwelling(more like c. 1650) located near Richmond, VA. In trying to create an old fashioned look, I Induced some blur with Neatimage after making some USM, contrast, and brightness adjustments.

This is a great shot! You've captured some great tones in this image. Fits the challenge. I like that the focus is soft. Good luck!

How much of this was altered? As long as no elements were added, I like!

I like this photo. The sepia works well. I think the time period mentioned in the title is off by some two centuries but the photo is nice and that detail doesn't effect my vote.

Good use of the toning. I would have liked a bit more space aboave the chimney. Well captured - the surrounds are interesting without being distracting.

Excellent sepia and neat image effect. Only thing i`m not keen on is the thick border, still a 9.

Sepia does justice to the title, so does the romatic blurring.

Border should be thinner. The color and feel of the photo is good though. I like it. Too bad it has that border.

Nicely done! Nice color, exposure, and composition. (border a bit wide for my taste - draws my eye out of the picture).

What a lot of effort - building a time machine and all! Nice pic although possibly just a bit heavy on the FX/filters.
