Was tinkering with various post-processing settings to go for an older-kind of look. This little bar is in Aladdin, Wyoming, as one takes the country roads from Rapid City west towards Devil's Tower. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like an interesting place to take photos. I'm afraid this is one area that I can't really help you with processing. Other than going sepia I really don't know how to make it look old :(

I don't think I'd have the vignette there myself. I don't think it needs it. I think the composition itself has achieved an old look as it doesn't include anything modern or shiny and new looking.
Maybe going a slightly more yellow sepia colouring would help? Also adding just a tad of noise across the image may also age the photo a little.

The picture could do with straightening. It seems to leaning towards the left. Other than that it's an interesting photo. I'd like to see more of the detail in the corners, though. There are too many things, the deer antlers fo instance, that are lost in the dark corners.
