Preston, I'm amazed at how much more pop there is in the larger version even though yours isn't 1600 pixels wide. The view is great. I really like the hints of pink in the clouds and how well they play off against the blues. The details in the barn and the trees are excellent also (amazing what formats larger than 35mm can do...). Well seen and presented.

Preston, I miss the old Astia shots that had their own hue about them. I guess it takes us "old" guys to recall some of the uniqueness the films had in years past. Heck, that's what was neat in that era was trying various films for different looks now and again.
Well needless to say this old structure was surely from years past and barely hanging on now. Maybe not as this is one of your older images. By now maybe it's made it's way to a recycle center or over to habitat for humanity projects.
For me it's all about the light here and how the subdued amount showcases this scene overall. With that said it gives a bit of feeling between nostalgia and the wilily's too. A neat old scene that I like a lot....
