    Thank you.
    Yes, it is a bit of sepia to warm it up some, the regular blacks didn't give the feel I wanted for this country town.

    I did learn something with this shot while editing.
    I am pretty fanatical about correcting any obviously leaning pictures as much as possible so the off-level isn't distracting.
    There were only a few vertical lines and they were all different.
    I tried to upright the big boy but that didn't look good. So I tried walking around and realized that when I stepped out with one leg, my body leaned to that side for balance. The bigger boy was on his left foot and thus actually tilted.
    So I used the prominent light pole as the vertical and then everything looked better to me.

    This portrays what I see as the "mood" of the environment. I like the slight vignette...

    Lew,
    Another excellent shot that has "feel".
    My only suggestion would be to crop a vertical sliver off the right hand side of the frame to eliminate the edge of the sign(?).
    Otherwise very nice shot.

    I like the style of processing in this shot, Lew, it works really well with this subject.

    Totally agree.
    In fact, once you mentioned it, it looked large in my mind.
    so fixed.
    thanks, Robert.
