Palouse Barn

Looks like a painting. Great color and composition. I can see this one really big and hanging on a wall.

Thanks Richard.

Thanks Richard.

I like the range of color contrasts; yellow-blues, red-greens, and the placement of the barn in the frame which gives the sense that it is sort of "out in the middle of nowhere". From the absence of doors, I guess, and being able to see through it to a window on the other side, that it's abandoned or no longer in use or at least not currently.

And in that connection, I also really like the presence of the little tree to its right which might be a lonely "volunteer" a long way from the nearest forest.

Matthew, I love the colour you captured here. I can see some rain in the distance. This would work well as a 16 x 9 with some of the less interesting top removed. (say right from the peach coloured spot down).

Matthew,

This is awesome! I just love the color combination. It's not often one sees a lime green barn like this, but it sure adds to the overall scene. Beautifully captured. no nits here.

Matthew: I lived near the Palouse in the late seventies but was not into photography at that time. Beautiful scene superbly captured.>=))>

Matthew, Beautiful work on this capture! This is a wonderful looking old barn with so much character. With the storms clearing you really caught this at a perfect time. I can only think of one barn about 25 miles from where I live that looks like the same color. Nice work Matthew!

Thank you everyone for your comments.

John said "it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere". Definitely true. It was my wife who insisted we continue to follow Chip's directions. As usual, glad I listened to her.

Gary said " I could see a 16:9 crop". I have reposted the image as a 16:9 crop. Not sure which I prefer. I see the point of the crop, although I like the sense of space that the uncropped sky provides.

Lon and Nick commented on the lime green barn. Thanks! I wasn't thinking about how unusual that color was at the time, although perhaps subconsciously that is part of what attracted me to the scene.

Bill, I envy you having lived in this area. My wife wants to move there!

My kind of landscape photo, love the barn, the colors and the sky.

A wonderful palouse image - the subtle colours and perfect barn are exceptional -
Congrats on the WP!
