This old red barn has become sort of an icon here in the Adirondack Park.

Very artistic and almost a painterly quality to this image. I really like the mood you have created here. The light and colors are really sweet.

A wonderful mood captured here Zack. I can see why this old barn is becoming an icon there. Very nice light and the fog really adds to the already great feel.

The colors seem a little strong and I wish the barn wasn't so close to the edge of the photo. It's a gorgeous scene though.

Thanks guys!

Michael, I have only added a touch of saturation back into the sky from the RAW file, as the reds were already very close to being blown out. This was taken after some rain showers passed through and began clearing. I did lighten the grass somewhat to balance out the FG and the sky. Thanks for your comments!

I like the soft, painterly feel you created Zack. Did you add some blur to the image?

Thanks for the comment Marsel. To answer your question, yes, I added a slight orton effect during processing to add to the already hazy atmosphere.

Classic, Zack! Great lighting and the mist/fog creates a wonderful mood.
