wonderful tones here; there is a sense of movement in the foreground - like it was taken from a moving car; there's a wonderful quality to this.

Fabulous! I love this one.
You mess with this one in B&W too, it has that Dust Bowl look to it.

Reminded of the flatness of the mid-west, not sure but it looks like a cityscape in the background.

I Love this image Alex! Your processing makes it look like it was taken sometime in the 30's or 40's! A simple theme but a great result! (I agree with Monterey John. My first impression was of the dust bowl days when I was a youngster.)

This is a great pleasure : after having appreciated a lot the pic of the day (for its peaceful strong mood and muted tones) I went for a stroll (not the first one) in your portfolio. How cool to discover the world with other's eyes when these eyes FEEL everything around. To be honest, I would sincerly appreciate your stroll back in mine :)) Hopefully, you might find one or two that will give you the same smile. I do hope so ~ you have a cool day*

What an effect. Your very individualistic processing style is never overdone. The image always speaks through clearly.

Perfectly seen, composed and presented. There is a wonderful flatland atmosphere to this with that far horizon beyond the little building.

I'm a first time visitor to your blog. After this comment i'll look at you portfolio. I agree with many of the comments. Great shot and it reminds me of the 1930s dust bowl. I wonder why we are thinking of the thirties?

This is gorgeous. Finding a wide open farm scene like this in CA is quite an accomplishment. I soft light and colors add to the vintage quality. I love it.

Lighting and composition result in a striking and moody image.
