Palouse Barn
I enjoyed driving the backroads of eastern Washington looking for compositions. As I came around a bend, the top of this barn caught my eye. The sky was not what I wanted, so I cloned in another.

17-85mm, f/16

Ah Tim! You're spending way too much time with Rick Lundh... You do know he already has a reserved spot in PS Hell, right? Jeez, I'm surprised you didn't add a mermaid in the FG!
:biggrin: :jump:

OK, I really like this comp. The barn is perfectly placed. I do wish the light had been working more in your favor though.

I've sold my spot in hell, to Tim...now my soul is free :rolleyes: .
I like it Tim. You've done a great job with the blend as far as I can see, but the thing that bugs me is that cut off barn. I just can't get past that.

Tim,

Nice juxtaposition of the barn between the hill and the trees. And a nice contrast with the lime green of the pea plants and the darker green of the trees.

I also found some barns to work with. There is a great red one south east of Steptoe Butte. Hope my images develop well. I'll know when my wife picks them up tomorrow.

Hmm... I don't know...I sort of like it and I sort of have a hard time with the cut-off barn.
What about going more graphic and cropping out a bit more sky and a bit more foreground? When I was a carpenter we used to say that if you didn't want someone to see something, then you had to make it more obvious. People accept the obvious and question the details. If the photo were more graphic, the barn would be a graphic element rather than a real barn.

I agree with Mark's comments. I feel like I need to see more, if not all of the barn.
