 Many thanks to my significant other for putting up with me, should I do x or y, should I B&W or sepia, etc.

This is a barn about an hour outside of Montreal that I pass quite often. I'm amazed that it is still in use, and still standing

Fair amount of PP on this one for me. Cloned out some telephone poles and wire, levels, curves, Major USM on the barn and then slid opacity down to about 40%, hue/Saturation, desat with channel mixer, sepia with duotone, resize, USM again, save for web. *whew*

Anyways, I like this pic. Yes it's a bit on the over PP side, but I still like it. Let's see how the voters like it!

While I would place and and some others much higher, this one definitely wins my "most underrated" award this time.

I love the drawing-like quality, the use of negative space and everything.

I like your color tones here. Might have framed the house differently, maybe a landscape view.

little brite and harsh to look at in my opinion. But still a nice shot.

I really like this one. Would have scored even higher from me with a tighter crop on the old barn.
