wwPW Submission Candidate #3

I went to the WWPW (World Wide Photo Walk) in Pillager, Minnesota this year. We had 2 hours to get out and shoot something that we can submit for a winning prize of Scott Kelby Training videos with the value of $249. As I understand it each group that walks gets a prize for the person that the walk leader chooses.

I almost gave up before I even got started. It was windy, bright and sunny, dry, brown, and didn't have much in the way of anything interesting for landscape type shots. I was tired .. the other photographers looked like they were way better than me. To be honest, I always feel pretty insecure when I am around other photographers.

But I took a deep breath, decided just to play with subjects that I never think twice about, and here's one of the ones i cam up with. I will post 3 more threads and leave links to them. I would really like some feedback as I am struggling with which one to submit. I doubt very much I will win anything, because I tracked down the guy that I thought was probably the most creative photographer there .. and I was right. He got an awesome shot. I ended up sitting with him at dinner and had a fun time talking to him. I shared my onion rings with him. :-)

If we're voting, I vote for #2. It has an interesting subject, well composed, with a full range of tones. I find it a very pleasing image I'd enjoy having on my wall. I wish you the best of luck in the competition, hope you WIN!!

Boring.

Nice processing on the woodwork, strange processing on the sign, softish ... noise removal software smudging?

I didn't do anything to the sign..I didn't do noise removal either as I wanted it to look a little grainy. Hmm.... I loved the door too. We can only submit 1mg photos so I have plenty of room to crop.
