I was fairly certain this wouldn't do too well. In fact, I'm surprised I only received two 1's. There were some great shots in the challenge, as usual. Fun to compete without a lens though.
Someone wondered if the oaks were indeed 100 years old, and that is a reasonable question. Those in our area I've talked with 'think' they are, but no one is certain. Maybe they are not.

This deserved a much better score. It's not easy to get a big score in any "Advanced Editing" challenge, even with a tack sharp shot. Thumbs up to you for entering a shot that is different from the "DPC norm" for this sort of challenge. I like it.
Welcome to the scary world of zp challenge submission! I'm heartened by how many people guessed that it was lensless instead of assuming you didn't know how to focus your lens "properly". "Breed familiarity" should be our motto!
Thanks for the follow up. I kind of wish you had picked a more obviously "old" subject. I figured it was a pinhole or zone plate shot and have been itching to reward such an entry. Challenge theme aside, I love the effect.
The color of the grass is nice, but did you add a filter to this to get that look? I don't think it's really working here. If it was on the original like that,maybe a reshoot would have worked.
