this is a fun place to photograph....

Comments and critiques please, I have lots of pics to play with so with your help I can get an almost perfect image!!!

thanks

I lot going on here. The comp feels almost too scattered IMO, but I do like each various element. The warmth from the windows is particularly nice. The bubble streaks look a little weird, but push an artistic aspect photographers might enjoy.

There is a lot of elements here that would made a nice photograph bythemself, and might "fight for an eye". I like the light in the window and the little fall from the wheel.

Love that place.. a little tough to shoot, I know.. Like the warmth created by the lighted windows..nice..

Darren, make me think that it's a little closer to night, maybe an edge burn or something, give the photo a reason to have such lovely light coming from the barn. To me, the photo is all about the barn and the light coming from it. All the rest is that supporting cast and I don't need to see as much of it.

I like this - it's busy but says a lot of nice things. Nothing that bugs me... an awesome postcard of the place if I've ever seen one.

WOW, that does look like some fun... looks like a great place for B&W, where is this at?

Personanally think the image is great as is, but sounds like some interesting and good suggestions, the shooting a bit closer to night might be an interesting effect...

I didn't know that we had a cool place like this around here...pretty neat Darren.

Thanks for the comments everyone..I do really appreciate it.....I have tried to uncomplicate things in this image but I am not getting too far.....so here is a last post from this outing...let me know if you like the orig better or the repost.....

thanks in advance!!!!!

Can't say the supports for the building are that pleasing to the eye, so backing off as in the original seems to make more sense to me, while putting it into better context.

What about getting a little further across the bridge so you can still get a bit of Cedar Creek in the frame to add context. I haven't been out there for a while, but from this angle, I'm guessing you;re about in the middle of the bridge...?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.....as some of you know, this is a very tough area to shoot.....you are very limited on where to shoot from...

I will be going back up there again soon and will take all the suggestions with me and see if I can come away with someting more pleasing to the eye....thanks again everyone!!!
