A shelter from reality.

An old building on my buddies farm, took my camera with me up there took about 300 Pictures and I think this is my favorite.

Ps: I don't use PHOTOSHOP!

This might be a good composition but the contrast is so great with most of the left side blown out and under the overhang having no detail.
You might be able to save some if you used photoshop.
Would also help if you posted bigger image so we could see details.
Good subject and good eye.
Try to get there when the light is better.

Actually I wanted the area under the roof to be dark to give it a rustic feeling.
And thanks?

[Frog]

May I do a little editing?

I like the B&W treatment here. But for me this capture is just too busy with all the branches trees coming in from all sides of the frame

Thanks and frog yes i was goign to say if someone would like to edit, feel free to do so.

Quick edit darkening highlights and lightening shadows with some minor levels adjustment.
Notice that clouds can now be seen.
Are you anti-editing or just not wanting to do this one?

[jordanjez193]

That looks great! Im not anti editing I just don't try to do a lot because i feel like i will mess up the picture.

WHat software did you use?

[Frog]

photoshop elements 6.0 at which I'm really not very good but can do basics.
It also helps to shoot using raw format.

good version of Frog. Original version have white too overexposed.
Also I take photo in RAW so is fairly easy to recover some mistakes:
