Barn on Halls Valley Rd
I took a nice little ride during the golden hour this morning. What do you think? Mostly what do you think of the crop?

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
I like it we have lots of barns here in Kentucky, so I think they are interesting. I like the crop it off centers the barn which is good. The photo gives you that brisk early morning feel. John

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
I like it. I think I would crop it with a little less ground and just a bit more sky then bring out the colors a bit more in the shy and barn. Just my humble opinion.  |

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Nice shot Greg! I think I would crop about half of the foreground off also, Jeff

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Hmmm I think the barn is too centered. If it were me, I would have shot it from several feet to the left and included more of the sunset. More sky and less foreground, more room right and less left.

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Guess I'm just different, but I like the foreground. Barns relate more to land than to sky.
The only cropping difference I might suggest is moving the barn a little more to the left,
since the trees in the background there are less interesting (they kind of of merge into
a blackness). I really do not mind the barn being centered vertically. You have the
complete top of the tree line, and the sky does add some beauty.

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Here is one with a little less grass. Even though I thought the first wasn't centered. I did have the horizon placed on the lower third. But with that said I think I like this one better.

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Oh and BTW, I like this shot. The light is really good and I'm a sucker for barns.

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
Thanks all. In the end I posted the second one on my site. I did boost the saturation just a tad more. Thanks for all of the help.

Re: Barn on Halls Valley Rd
In the original version by including more foreground, I get the feeling that this is a photo with a barn in it. By eliminating some of the foreground it makes the barn more of the focus as the subject instead of just being included in the photo. I like the cropped version better. Just my thoughts, Jeff
