It looks like it is the 1930's vintage, eastern bloc! Cool!

I think the creases in the URC are a great touch to a great photo.

Great work Lorna, the image really has a story to tell. I like the work editing you did to give it the aged look, a very effective presentation.

Lorna, nice capture and treatment. Has a real nice feel to it. I might clone out the watch on the woman's hand and de-saturate her shawl just in keeping with the old school feel you have created.

I've been buying old postcards of threshing/farming scenes, and at first I thought that you had simply scanned one of those. You caught it very well.

Most effective processing I've seen to create this kind of look for a scene that would especially benefit from it. Expertly done, Lorna. Congrats on a great Pick!

Neat treatment, Lorna, fits the old tractor and horse drawn rake perfectly. Congrats on the well deserved WP.

Beautifully done Lorna, love the editing work but the composition and subject material is wonderful in itself.
