    Hay Barn, symmetrical view

    I wanted to make this as symmetrical as I could. I would like to know if the angle works at all? So I would like your thoughts on this one? Keep it or trash it? I kind of looks like a big airplane to me?

    Hi Greg,

    I like the angle. The barn looks like it has wings. I think the color could use a little punch and the focus seem a little soft too.

    Cheers,

    Re: Hay Barn, symmetrical view

    I love old barns, and I must say I have never came across this configuration. The symmetry is almost creepy. I cannot think of any other angle to take this but the one you did. The sky looks a bit funky to the immediate right and left of the barn. Could be the low res. A neat find for sure.

    Greg, symmetry is fine but try either morning or night to get the golden hour if you can.

    Thanks Roger, This is quiet a drive from my house and catching the elements just right has been hard, but I will certainly return. But I couldn't pass this up.

    Re: Hay Barn, symmetrical view

    Greg, I like the symmetry you captured. The barn has character. The sharpness looks fine and the sky was good, I would agree with Roger that all that is missing to bring this up another level is some dynamic lighting from the golden hours.

    Greg, aside from what everyone else has said, I think this barn deserves serious closeups.
