Winter Barn

[ssim]

I normally don't post in this section, perhaps it's because one is a little tentative about their work. I'm going to take a stab at this one though. Is there anything you would do differently with this one.

I like it. The only thing I notice is perhaps the camera might have been moved a little to the right to include a little more of the structure on the right that is just barely in the photo.

Square crop to get rid of the little piece of barn on the right and the distracting clouds on the left?

What about lightening the shadows.

Just a thought

My thought is that I had cuted on the right and lighetd up the front.
Very fine shot!

That shot does it for me! I really like it. Any changes would just be about tinkering until you feel you get it right. I would even try to flip it so the building "looks the other way" Still, nice shot.

Fantastic. I REALLY like it.

Maybe you crop out the barn and some on the left to keep the subject centered but with no other changes I think this is a beautiful shot.

Great colors, I love the shadows and the rust on the silo. I always try to capture items like this and you just made me look really bad.

:(

The partial building just peeking into the right of the shot is a distraction.

The lighting is great, you've picked up side lighting on the silo so the shape comes out great. The shadow on the barns front and from the silo contain good detail!

The side lit snow (on the small building) has great texture.

The clouds on either side nicely frame the shot.

All in all, a pleasing shot. The faded red paint and the red rust work well.

I tried cropping it 106 pixels from the right and 65 from the left, plus 32 at the bottom and a few on the top part. That rids the shot of the small house on the right and the road. I'd also take away what's left of the gray clouds on the upper left.

Other than these adjustments (which are obviously personal preference), it's a great shot. :)

It is a beautiful barn. So Quebecquois in look and feel. One that would make the perfect painting for anyone of their great artists. You are a great artist.

I would use a #60 cloned tool, stamp out the highway., and crop just a bit (about half) off the left side . The latter helps to balance the image a bit more and suggests retaining the small unpainted shed on the right hand side.

Once done, I would learn how to paint watercolors. I just taught myself and I would be willing to sell you my 24" by 26" original. Here's a photo of same.
