Challenge: Best of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: 2012
Camera: Sony DSC-F828
Location: Centerville, Missouri
Date: May 5, 2011
Aperture: f/2
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/800th sec
Date Uploaded: Feb 2, 2012

Because of our move back West this will be the last Missouri photo I will submit here...The Grist Mill at Centerville Missouri...a very nice, and quiet spot in the southern part of the State, probably the one spot in the past few years I consider the most photogenic in my experience. This photo has never been submitted in a Challenge, even though there has been 5 or 6 "like"...in the last 4 years.

This almost looks like an old-timey post card. Love the detail in th ecabin construction and stone work. Very nice capture of the flowing water.

This has a really nice vintage feel about it, enhanced by the vignetting. Perhaps a little too light at the base corners.

Lovely processing to give this an age old feel. Might be a little too centred for composition for me. Could lose a bit at the bottom

I have never been a fan of the light vignette....however, it does work with this image.

Interesting subject, cool old school processing... but it looks old school in composition too. I wish there was a little more land on the left, just to add some interest. Or maybe more trees? Not sure, just a bit off to me. Still a nice image.

Processed perfectly to suit the subject. A lovely bit of whimsy from a bygone era.

A lot of blown highlights around the edges of this image but it's nice nonetheless, a very cool old-fashioned little place, good composition. Lots of little details; the mini waterfall in the background, the old slats of the waterwheel, the water channel right underneath the house. Interesting!

Wonderful composition.

Nice idea but I think this type of processing spoils what would have been a decent shot. I would like to see this in colour with some HDR work.
