I really have a dilemma with this as it really doesn't technically fit the description of rural. A truly awesome composition and capture and a wonderful scene. I'm giving it a 6 because of it, though in a Free Study I'd have gone higher. The 6 is strictly on the shot's merits but IMNSHO, DNMC.

Upon reflection, and being honest, it's no less rural than my entry, and in the spirit of fair play, you talented b*stard, I'm bumping this to an 8.
