Title: Sunset on Ohio Barn
Post by: David Eckels on September 20, 2013, 11:24:05 am
CC welcome. Converted to B/W in SEP and faded the fill 20%. I looked at toning, but I think I like this a little better. What say ye?

Beauty.  Don't touch a thing.
Reminds me of why winter is one of my favourite times for photographing.

Indeed, and picture shape, too.

If you look at the thumbnail, it looks such a happy barn - it's almost smiling!

Wonderful  ;) -- But I would had had a second shot  > zoning in on those windows and shadows of the trees on the Barn

I'm not. The original is good, too.

Don't be. I was taken with the semi-circular shape of course, but I like seeing alternative seeing! It teaches me to keep working over a subject rather than snapping and moving on. I took several of this particular barn, focussed on the semi-circle, but did not move in. This was last year. Today, I would have moved in, out, and around more.

I think your original would had been my first approach ---  then I get close and start focusing.    ;)

David your original capture and treatment gives an image so interesting I almost feel I could write a novel about it!
I think one could see new things in this image every day.
You can be rightly proud of this effort.
