Wow, this is still a very impressive barn. Beautiful in front of that landscape... very well focused... I can only imagine what the original photo must look like! Wow

Very nice scenic image, Debbie! This is a huge barn! Is it still in use? Great composition. I like the angle that you shot this from. Great work!

Thank you j!!!!! No, abandonded, just wish some one would buy the property and give it a bit of TLC----------

Comment from LisaM
Another nice shot. I would have liked to see more up front once again...but that is also up to the viewer and I see no reason to deduct for that because overall this is a very good shot. You would go nuts in Iowa. We are just covered with dilapitated farms, houses, equipment, etc.

This is a very nice mage, but, to me it seems a bit flat in the color saturation.

Comment from Kimberly
What a great photograph! It's beautiful. It really tells a story....
My first thoughts were how I could only imagine what animals were here long ago. I grew up on a farm and I loved every minute. Wonderful image.

Comment from gajnath
Such beautiful landscape surrounding this old barn. The barn does have a "ghostly", but regal appearance. I like the struture of the roof and even aged it looks regal :) Excellent exposure, great focus, magnificent clarity, Debbie.

Nice job! I love mountain views... seeing as how i live in the mountains. I could see this book featured in a short story about a ghostly barn ;)

Comment from redwalkker7
This is an awesome shot LowRider, again kinda sloppy on the frame, just rememeber you need a solid dark frame around your photo, This cropping is not bad enough to warrent a lesser rating in my opinion. I like the up close/far-away look of the photo so I would just crop down to the trees at the top of the mountain.But is is marketable as is.

Composition 4

A great subject and background. This day seems a little hazy, and that is creating some exposure issues in the back of the photo. You could perhaps burn the green part of the mountain and the sky, or crop down to the grassy plain and eliminate the problem altogether, but also sacrificing some of the landscape appeal of the photo. Excellent work!

Comment from Cricket
Great scene with a wonderful feel to it. The low lighting in the foreground adds to the 'castaway' feel of the piece. Nice eye for a good shot!
