    Old Barn

    I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but out on a drive with the wife I saw this old barn between commercial developments on both sides. With the gray sky and the warm light, it just looked welcoming.

    An interesting subject and I think your composition is pretty good. I'm thinking you should go back there just after sunset to get nice rich blue skies which ought to improve the image a lot-the red/orange sky just isn't working for me here.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    love it, with more light and multiple exposures you could make an amazing hdr of this scene...

    Re: Old Barn

    Well my take is a little different. Since barns are a dime a dozen, (although not where I live), I believe this one could be a home run if you could frame it between the new commercial buildings. Assuming of course there is enough room to get a wide angle shot of it. The image also seems too dark to really be able to see the barn. From what I can see, the lite room looks modern than old. But this is me.

    I agree with MB. It needs more detail in the shadows. Picking a time when the light was better would also help. Nice composition though.

    Thanks for the input, it was kind of an overcast night so the sky looked gloomy, I was facing west, so this could be a good sunrise pic. I'll try again.
