    Barn 2
    Here is a wider view of the barn. Very little post processing except a bit of sharpening and polarized the sky. Never tried that before but it makes it look like it was a nicer day than it actually was.
    C&C welcome.

    Nice color saturation. Beautiful greens against the worn wood barn.

    I'm not sure I understand the "polarized the sky" comment. Did you actually use a polarizer filter or was this some PP work?

    Very nice subject Frog. I think though I would like to see a wider view offering a bit more sky. A couple of steps back. But well done with what you have here. I am interested in your PPing of the sky.

    Sorry another word slip on 'polarized the sky' What I did do is use the magic wand to select the sky and then enhance, adjust color, color curves and selected 'solarize'.
    Sky was basically gray before that.
    Thankyou, Jim.
    Greg, a couple of steps back would have sent me head over heals down a bank that I climbed from the road to get to this spot. See 'barn' from a couple days ago. This is about as wide as I could go unless I was on the road and then you'd have to see the bank and fence and lose the bottom of the barn. Such is life.

    If you could shoot this at sunset or sunrise, to get a less bright sky while the barn remains illuminated, you may see some improvement.

    If you're up to it, try an HDR of this too, barns and HDR are a fun combo.

    composition and subject are both excellent.
