Opportunistic shot and well worth it as it so does fit this contest as inevitably such a mural on the side of a building in the middle of nowhere is nigh impossible to miss..well done on the presentation

Love the artwork on the old barn which really stands out in the landscape image. Good color and nicely composed with great focus and dof.

Interesting painting done on this barn,very graphic and done well,do like murals and some graffiti,this is done well and suits the contest,i think if it had been me I would have got closer and just featured the barn,the surrounding countryside slightly distracts from the main subject...Brian

A very nice shot that exhibits the great depth of field that is typical of cell phone cameras. I like this composition and the great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

How unusual! I have seen painted barn's, but newer one with Grand Woods famous painting on every surface. Even the roof seems painted. The mural looks alike the original. Its as if Grand Wood did it himself. The photo is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. Colors and light are realistic. The barn is excellent placed within the frame. The fence and the tree in the foreground are in interesting contradiction with the painting. The photo is well framed. The composition is balanced.

What an interesting photograph! I never too happy with my cell phone pics but you did great. I might have just tilted it alittle to the right but nice capture

This is such an interesting scene, that painted wall with the farming couple. Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear true. Well composed and presented!

I bet they used a wrap. Same thing they so for vehicles for ads, logo, etc. The angle of the shot of this unusual building is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Quite an interesting and enjoyable find posted here! Your fine and traditional composition certainly does shot a great deal of man impact in that locality. Not sure why it was painted and who the portraits are of. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
