This is a fun to look at photo. At first I wanted to say that the postcard text is too small, but it actually works better in an understated manner. The photo, while interesting, is a bit too grainy and blurry for me to be a strong image. Clever use of it though for this challenge. Hmmm. Good luck.

That's a cool looking hay barn. :D Your postcard text matches up fine with the main subject and the theme. Normally, a centered composition gets kind of hammered around here. In this case it seems to work just fine. Honestly, while the barn is cool, the surrounding area is a bit plain and ho-hum. Nothing personal, just an observation, and certainly not much you can do (could have done) about it. Good luck to you in the challenge.

Wonderful image. The hillside and the two strong color tones in this work great together. Very nice work putting this together and in your compositional choices. Text for the postcard is "ok". I like the font style selected - not sure I'm totally sold on the placement and size, but hey, we're not graphic artists now are we? :D Good luck in the challenge.

Hey! Here's a winner. Very clever idea with the colored text. Works great with this very colorful subject you've chosen. Great job! I'd wish you luck in the challenge, but somehow don't think you're going to need it. :D

Nice photo. Maybe a little soft, but I really like the way you've captured the sun as it falls/rises under/over the rocks (not sure if sunrise or sunset). As for the postcard component of this challenge - why not place some text on the photograph? Trying to sell the message in your title kind of defeats the special clause in this challenge IMO. Again, that's JMO. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky

This has a nice postcard feel to it. Clean, crisp, and interesting to look at. The strong lighting works overall, it does seem a little hot on the right rocking chair perhaps, but that's a minor issue in the big scheme of things here. :D I do get the impression you were timid on placing text on this nice photo? Personally, I would have maybe gone a little larger on the text (I like the font style BTW), and spread it out some, maybe even split the message into two parts; "Shaker Village" and then "Pleasant Hill, Kentucky". Something like that. All JMO of course. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

HDR? The colors look unnatural and a little flat, especially in the distant tree line around the tower. A light burn and some contrast boost might help here a little. All JMO of course. :D I like how you've incorporated the tree branches (foreground), and water grasses, to create some natural framing. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a compelling image. Makes me want to look around a bit. Guess that works for a postcard also. :D The passing bicyclist is moving into the photo with room in front - that's good. Do wish I could see more of his face but the lighting wasn't cooperating for you in that regard. Looks like there is two, maybe three animals in the front yard of the house in the background? :) Good luck in the challenge.

This is very nice. Simple, well composed. Sends a simple message and is interesting to look at by itself (as a standalone photo). The font style you've selected is classy and fits the theme. Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Clarksville Morn

Hey. Clarksville, TN! :D Gosh, haven't been there in 15 years now. Is there still a Foot Locker store in the Clarksville Mall? Interesting that you chose this for your postcard. Nothing else going there? :P It's a nice photo of the train station as far as the angle you've selected, etc... Too bad about the sky being overcast and grey. Something about the placement of the text seems a bit awkward. JMO of course. Maybe because it's placed so close to the 'Clarksville' sign and is of a different font style? Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
