The Barn
My grandparents’ old farm is full of old buildings like this dark red barn. The stacks of wood you see are cut from nearby forest, awaiting planing into lumber to be used in new homes.
I played around with this until it had something of an antique look to it. Thoughts on this process are welcome!
The Barn belongs to the following groups:
Farms and Countryside, History, Photography Critique and Advice, Rural America, The Red Barn and United StatesAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Hi Nikki,
I won’t comment too much the process because i’m at home on an uncalibrated laptop but i can say that the image is very nicely constructed and i love the texture of the stacks of wood.

It certainly has the antique look you were after – the image conveys a great deal of pathos and is very charming. Nice work.

I think you’ve done a great job with the processing – super tones and textures – it’s almost come out as an infrared image with the white grass! Definately a great composition, Nikki. One to be proud of.

Uncomplicated, simple compositions work best such as this. Toning or effects can make or break a picture, this one works extremely well. Complex pictures can confuse the eye and the mind.

I really like this capture! I think the b & w gives it that nostalgic feel. The barn is a popular image er associate with a rural life, and the stacked wood symbolizes all the hard work that is required to sustain this life style!

Very strong composition, satisfying sense of rhythm created by the boundary of the sky and the other elements. Nothing static about this image.
Technically also excellent as far as I can tell.
