Great Barn. Also Great sky, but I think that maybe there is a little to much of it. I would be tempted to crop some off the top.

Thanks for your comment. I would not only crop the sky but crop the right side also.

Floyd, I like this old barn in this light and conditions you captured it in. Actually the first post works much better for me over the tighter crop. I enjoy the open feel it has and that adds to the lonely out of the way mood this seems to have. If you do want to crop the sky I would still leave most of the right side. Just my thoughts on this. :smile:

Nice look of some big sky country. I would have thought Montana or Wyoming, not Merced. I prefer the original post. Given the composition and the minimalist foreground, vast expanse of sky works for me.

I like this old barn and the dramatic sky. I personnaly would prefer the original post.I like the open feel in the original much better . The repost is to tight for me especially on the right side
