First entry with my 5D. Lets see how this does. I know its pretty plain, but its about as rural as I can come up with while still having something in the picture besides dirt.
Post:Not surprised about how this worked out, as it really lacks the WOW. Although, personally, I like the photo.

This came out rather well, I think. Lovely light and sky this time of year! As one of your commenters noted, maybe a bit too wide for DPC. Perhaps shooting a lot closer and up at the tower, with the tree in the background/frame would have sold the "rural" part a bit more - would have eliminated the cars and stop sign anyway.
Classic composition. Great use of rule of thirds to make the watchtower the main subject, and use of the tree on the left to naturally frame the image. LLots of small distracting elements though through the image, the stop sign, flower box in the right hand corner, cars in the background etc all dont add to the overall image........Lighting though is great and the sky is terrific.....
