    Re: De plains, boss! De plains!

    Tuna, a great subject. This looks lie a barn built on top of a barn. I like the barn placed way off to the side and the poles bringing in the line. I am not sure that having that much foreground was the best comp. I vision this scene with a slither of foreground and high skies above. This is more personal preference than critique as I feel that the shot is fine as it is. Great title, lol
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    The lines give the impression that the barns only concession to the outside world may well be a single light bulb. It looks a beautiful barn indeed and lovely in its isolation. I do feel though that the grass looks over sharpened or over somethinged. The sky in this case needs a little something.

    Beautiful subject, but the skies are a let down for me on this one...

    Beatiful picture.

    However, I think the lighting should go up 1 more notch, it seems a bit dark.

    An interesting capture. The "empty" sky should probably bothers me yet it doesn't. The emptiness and the slight haze set a mood. I think that there is too much foreground though. I would crop some of it to get an even more stretched panorama.

    Tuna,

    Darn it your taxing my grey cells today. However, I do like this one, except for one tiny detail and that is the (technical terms sticky outy thingy on the left most post just under the wires. Its driving me nuts as I can't stop looking at it. I know that your PS skills can fix that in a nanosecond if you wish to

    For me having the horizon in the middle works for this photo and I love the texture in the grass whether its from oversharpening or not. This lends itself to the texture in the barn.

    Nice one
