 Not sure if i like it with the OOF fence, would a better DOF help this
 one.



 Yes, I think it would.  The composition is excellent but I'd prefer the
 fence to be sharp.

Thanks for that. This barn is only a mile or so from the house, so i
can reshoot it quickly.

 One of our super boxes in winter.


 This one doesn't do a lot for me.  There may have been some close up
 possibilities, though.

Not sure what to do with this. There is a mailbox category for the
fair contest, and i rack my brains out every year looking for
something different.

 Old church door.



 I like this, particularly with the snow-covered foliage at the top.

Thanks. this is on the short list for the churches catagory.

Har!  A Super Mailbox.  Haven't seen one of those since I lived in the

the Post Office spin doctors tried to convince us that by ~not~
delivering the mail to our doors we were getting better service
because we could post letter from the Super Mailbox.  I never bought
it, did you?  ;-)

Nice photo anyway...

Nope, and still don't. Id have to hazard a guess, but i'd say about
50% of the mail i put into the box, never reaches its destination.
My thought is the junk mail is put into the mail slot, and is tossed
by the mail man, with out to much routing around.
The workers up here are contracted, i know a lot of them, and i don;t
think they put the whole 100% in a day.:-)

The OOF down front fence,also, bothers me a tiny bit. Block of snow capped mail

it even better if it were straightened.

I really like the fence-and-barn (though I'm in the 
fence-in-focus-would-improve-it camp) and the church door.

I'm glad we don't have that snow here in Oxford--there would be absolutely no 
place to put it!
