The elctronics seem out of place, so much so I think it ruins the old time feel of the photo. It does however make it an interesting contrast, so good from and intellectual point of view.

Other than wishing a little bit more on the far right so the window frame wasn't butted against the edge - this is totally awesome.. a treat for the eyes with detail, color and contrasting elements... :toast:

Thanks. on the right was the edge of the house. It looks pretty nice printed. I'm think I'm going to add a "Barns' or "Old Windows" gallery to my web site.
Last year at the Trout Lake Art Festival, a local farmer walked up, almost before I was finished setting up my booth, took on look at a barn photo I had and bought it right away telling me that he loved old barn photos. At a certain point, I am doing this for the money!

Great detail shot. Love the textures and lines.

The electrical box with dangling wire and the boarded up window tell a poignant tale of... life lived and gone... a valliant but failed struggle... an ending and new beginning elsewhere... Can't know the true story, but that's the beauty of a photo like this IMO, other than how well it is done. It tickles the imagination and stirs emotion. Good one Mark. :toast:

I love the geometry and the combination of different materials (wood, metal, wire, fabric) and the light is very nice. I have seen studio photographers go to a lot of work to stage a shot not nearly as nice as this. Great find and nice job visualizing this.
