this is an old shed that belongs to my friend. it is a dumping ground for rubbish.
the chickens like to hide there when the guinea fowl chase them.

the hut was converted in bw styler. various filters were applied.
the original sky was removed and i added a sunset.

Hi Brian,
I like that kind of PP work you have done with the sky in your picture . It gives a great contrast with the old shed in black and white and it adds a nice mood .

HI Brian,

I must say that you certainy are creative with the black and white and your sky. This is very nice with the sharp details of the barn. In looking at it again, I would consider cropping the portion of the hut on the left to see the variation. I can't tell if I would prefer to show the storage area or not. ...ummmmm thinking about it. (I keep covering it and uncovering it ;D) Nice effect with the sky coloring.

I like the noise on the FG. But not so fond of the sunset :D:) but that was just personal taste :D

My dear Brian,
I really like the way you did your pp work this time. The sky sets an eerie contrast to the shed and the picture itself looks a little like a weird drawing.
great- I
m looking forward to your next postings...
regards, Heike

Very nice work on this Brian and I do like the colorful sky, it does pull your eye through the shot! Really excellent details as usual, your work is moody and full of emotion!

hello Brian from Scotland;
I see very old shed, I understand that chicken like hiding here; excellent contrast and b/w shot , but the sky looks more interesting in this colours;
good shot and work my dear;
hugs, Karolina

Excellent PP-ing on this one Brian, the side of the shed has a lovely texture to it which has come out really well in the B&W conversion and the added sunset is very nicely processed and blends very well with the rest of the image.


Dean.

P.s. That was for free!

I'm back again to admire your gallery, today I fell in love with this one. As you probably noticed I love old barns so this one is right up my alley :) Very beautiful textures and detail. TFS
