HDR barn fun!

was messing around at a grain feed barn, and decided to throw it in photomatix

feel free to rip it apart, and i know the sky is messed up, working on that, but any other opinions are welcome

I like the look, I would only try and play with the saturation of the greens (dunno how that would work out - just see if anything can be done) because the bunch of green in front of the barn is a bit distracting... anyway, it looks awesome!

it's intresting, wonder how it would be if it weren't so green.

Hmmmm, do you mean green tint or the greenery (bushes)? If you mean you see a green tint, I see none. If you are referencing the green bushes, I think they add to the effect.

As stated in the OP, the sky is the weakest link here and being worked on. However, I would think that as opposed to masking in some sort of nice blue sky, considering the mood set by this pic, grey, threatening, stormy, gloomy clouds would work well.

bushes, but that's me. I'm sure once the sky is changed it will have a totally different feel.

hope that barn dosen't fall on anyone

The crop doesn't feel right....

how so?

I think, for me, seeing the entire building would have more impact.It feels unfinished to me..

the other small part just goes into the woods, but i think i have a shot of the whole thing, i'll see what i can conjurer up

I think the greens need to be toned down a bit, but I like the sky as it sets a gloomy (sp?) mood.

what are you doing to get the sky like that?

I Like the detail and colours in the old rotting wood.
You could pull the greens back a bit in highlights which would also add some magenta which works with the existing colours and maybe shoot the building more on the corner so it fills the frame more, you had better hurry before it collapses.
Nice conversion and i think the grey sky looks OK adds to the abandonment of the subject, it is on the verge of halo in the trees to my eye.
