#3, tied with another.
I should point out I only have three entries ahead of this one.

This photo is lacking something. Maybe the other side of the door, a horse in the paddock, or rancher somewhere in there. Maybe even more of the door showing so that the hay floor stands out on the right. I would have liked to something tie the title to the photo a little tighter. That being said, I think real thought went into the setup, and it's pretty sharp, so I ranked this higher than I normally would.
