tree stump and barn 1

nice shot. looks kind of spooky.

I like the cropped first version better than the second.

That being said, the barn is soft, but not soft enough to feel intentional.......it's like it's half done. I think it would have been killer with a narrow DOF on the stump and the barn a hinted blur in the backround.

IMO.

Plenty to think about....in both shots.
