Number two is excellent. I would love to see number one the same way without that foreground element. It just doesn't work IMO. Great shots!

#3 is very intriguing, and really depicts the abandonment of the place.

Each of those three photos has something that I like. The first, for me, is about the light. I like it a lot but the shed doesn't seem "straight"… It gives me a feeling of tipping over. I like the framing and perspective of the second image and I agree with Paulo on the third image and what it evokes.

Thanks, Murat, Paulo and Francois.

Glad StJoseph had some impact. He stands atop a pile of tombstones gathered up from a cemetery that is now a wheatfield. If he had eyes he would be gazing at the former site of a village.

That shed ain't straight, Francois. Nor is the one in the background.  ;)

That's what I thought... No need to spend $$$ on T/S lenses or countless hours in post processing and in the end, a beautiful image is not about getting walls/roof perfectly square.

Scott re. barn...I would've moved camera loc. a bit to right...so there is some more "spread" btw debris and the barn in bg...and also to get a little more of the right side of the barn. /B

Francois, I usually shoot this location with T/S to get it as straight as possible. Hope springs eternal.

Thanks, Brandt. Good suggestion. I'll look into it. I composed this way to emphasize the contrast between standing and not, and to include in as much of the colourful sky as possible.
