 A clump of mail boxes in my neighborhood. Apparently, there is a temporary shortage of carriers in rural western NC right now.

Great title - good to see some creativity here. Nice muted colors give this an older rural feel.

The over turned wheelbarrow in the background is very distracting, as is the pickup truck.

The shot, while an interesting composition, needs a little clarity, color, contrast, not sure. There is also no real connection with the headline other than the fact of the mailboxes.

It has a bit of blue/green overcast. Doesn't have great lighting either.
