Hi, I love the picture. Especially the contrast between the colours of the "white" house and the dark background, not to mention the amazing perspective.

While I agree the photo is eye catching, I wouldn't recommend the moving in with the cows. Do you know how much noise they make when the eat and then at night?? YOu will never get any sleep. I love the depth and sense of wide open spaces there are so few views like this now.

Initial response was "it's strong".

The detail, the color the composition; it's all good.

The barn ridge is not level meaning the photo is not level and it's a never no mind for this shot and may even enhance it to my eye.

The fences provide foreground entertainment .... bottom to top ... all good.

is the building upright, i am not sure if it is, great clarity, great exposure, pin sharp, need a bit more detail in the dark woods in the background

Yep, upright, built on a slope. Maybe be a bit more realistic from you? , dark woods, clouds casting shadows----

Very nice country, landscape and that barn so pristine white
coming through. The hills in the background just give it more
down home flavor. Nice dimension with clouds adding a touch, also.

LowRider, I really like most of your pics, including this one! It gets me out of the big city, from behind a desk into a place with fresh air (even if it's from the barnyard) and friendly down home people ... a real change of pace!

I have noticed that many or your works have a grainy texture to them on my screen, is this accurate? Probably the only thing keeping this one from a 5.

Thank you very much photophan!! The original photos are not grainy and yes I know what you are saying. I think because of my scanner mainly, I scan a very good photo and it comes up on my system hazy, finally I will get a photo scanner and LCD monitor to better prepare my work, but not 'til Santa gets here-------I don't mention that on my notes because actually it is no excuse, if I am going to put it out there, I know my system is not the best and just figure that is my problem if I choose to post anyway. I do believe the new system will make quite a difference. I really appreciate your comments!! Thank you again!!

Nice one LowRider. Great view and perspective on the shot. Good use of available light. It is a view that would be hard to escape.

Where was this taken by the way? Many of your photos have that ...rural America feel to it and I do enjoy looking at them. The landscapes are very different from what we get over here in England.

Wonderful image, Debbie! Wonderful clarity on this. Excellent composition. Beautiful natural colors. Outstanding exposure with the white building. I would have to say, this is my favorite of yours. Very well done!
