On the last day of the challenge, I took a drive up to a local museum/village of old homes called Millard's Crossing. The sun was setting and I took this shot of an old log cabin. The North wind was freezing cold, so I didn't get the info on the history of this particular house, but will go back and find out.
Very little post-processing: cropped, adjusted levels, resized for the challenge.
Take care,
Stephen

This is a nice, competent, image that certainly meets the Challenge, showing as it does, country life a century or so ago. I very much like the effort you took to capture this image at a good time of day. The soft, sunset colors, work well to bring out the textures in the wood. "The problem" as I see it, is that this is just a nice image. Now, if you had granny on the bench and a dawg on the ground, this would be country living as it is stereotypically perceived in the urban world. Of course the last sentence was a joke, but what I'm saying is a little life, or color, would make this image sparkle.
I wish you continued success in your DPC Challenge entries. You have a good eye!
This one really needs some contrast or something to fix what brightening did. Also, the subject is too crowded in the frame. A wonderful building though, it really has potential.
