    Re: Backyard Barn #2 (alternate angle)

    if you can get the car and dog out of frame and leave the truck, then take this at a slight angle so we can kinda see the side of the barn for depth, you'll have a stronger image.

    The sky seems a bit blown out here too. (see below)

    Also, if you have a tripod, you should try an HDR here. (expose one image for the sky, one for the face of the barn, and then every 3 increments in between, and then use photomatix or qtpfsgui to combine them)

    *be sure to use a 1 or 2 second timer so the scene stays composed exactly the same for each bracket.

    Photomatix usually does a better job, but if you're not gonna be buying it, it puts a watermark on (it's $100 software)

    EDIT, i bet that truck alone would make for a good shot.

    EDIT: another way to get the sky exposed right is to take this at another time of day, so you dont have to fight such a strong backlight.

    HLCYG......Mr. Yuck made some good points there. I like the fact that there's so much to see.....dog, car, barn...
