For me, "rural" should show something man-made in the shot. This has two of those elements in it. I like this one the best.

This is also my favourite (not counting the seascapes...). The composition is awesome. Only concern with regard to score is the issue of horizontal versus vertical.

Deb, of the ones you have posted I think this is probably the most suited for the challenge. That said, I do like the vertical orientation best, but again, knowing how anal the voters are I wonder if you would get dinged because it's not horizontal? I get so fed up with that sort of thinking but it's something to consider. Agh. Could you brighten up the foregound a little? I know you can't dodge the flowers, but somehow I would like to see them a bit brighter. Don't know how to achieve it without advanced editing. How annoying.

Ha! This is my favorite, and now I see that Ben says it is his, too.

The bright spot of sky at fence level (mid-photo left) grabs my eye. Is that a "flaw" or does the photo need that? I wish the flowers were the bright spots.
