Hello TL friends,
This is an old condemned barn near my home. This one is for sale due to all the wood that could be used for building. The people around here will pay good money for this older wood. Anyway this barn was built in the early 1900's and then fixed up a time or two. I guess it just became to much for the owner to handle.

For this shot I used an 18-55mm with a focal length of 18mm. I used a 52 mm Hoya Cir. Polarizer filter as well. In PP I adjusted the tones slightly, increased contrast and saturation a little for more color. I then cropped, framed and resized for TL. I hope you like this and as always thanks for viewing.

Regards,
Kevin

I love how vibrant the green is here Kevin and
the partially obscured Barn is very well placed.
A very effective composition and scene captured.
Well done.

Kevin Hi;
Excellent composition, the colors are stunning with a wonderful sky to set the presentation off. Congratulations, very well done. Having been to Ohio, I know the greens really are that green, excellent work.

It's interesting, because I don't think you see a lot of barns with such "landscaping". That's what really stands out to me. I love barn/rural shots, this is nice!

HI Kevin
So its my turn to talk about your barn.:-))
Good shot of this oldie surrounded by the trees and shrubs,
the lawn perfectly manicured does make the barn look really great .
Very nice shot but did you notice you have a halo around the barn and tree.Perhaps oversharpened?
Dot

Hi Kevin,
Very nice composition with beautiful light, here! This makes vibrant colors particularly on the green lawn.
The movement of clouds gives a good dynamism at the scene. My only nit-pick is about the halo surrounding the head of the trees in the right part of the image. I often noticed that the use of shadows and light function in photoshop makes this chromatic aberation if we push a little too the amount highlights.
Overall, you can be proud of this very pleasant image ! Bravo! Annie

hello Kevin,

my aunt live in Ohio too but in athens :)

Hi Kevin,

Blue skies, green grass and an old barn with peeling red (brown?) paint. Three contrasting colours coming together to form a well balanced photo. I agree with the other critiques that the halo is quite obvious. Other than that, this is a great photo.

TFS.

Regards,
Alvin

Hi Kevin,I like that the trees frame the barn, they help to show off its weathered look,also the slight hint of sunlight on the grasses & parts of the tree limbs.

A respectable old barn:) I like the ample green lead-up to the barn, giving an open country feel that seems right. Great color, clarity, and textures/detail. Well done.

Hello Kevin,
a barn with great dramatic sky. Nice green foreground, and very clear countryside.
Great composition with well lighting done.
Very peaceful and calm environment.

Foozi

There's something really special about this shot but I just can't quite put my finger on it...It has a certain softness and a glow that it makes it look like a fairytale image.
Very well seen and taken, Ross! Congrats!
Best regards and a wonderful weekend,
Diana

Hi Kevin
That's a very nice shot of that old barn. I love old farm buildings and they have so much to tell if only they could speak. This one looks in good condition though, the roof is straight and no boards are missing on thie side. I love the washed out red color and all the trees around the barn. That dark blue sky is splendid.
Nicely done
Serge

Hello Kevin. Country barn is always interesting to capture and you have placed the subject well in the frame. Nice inclusion of the green in the fg against the beautiful blue sky. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Roger,
Sadly this is a common scene all along the American countryside as the family farm give way to the corporate farm.
Lovely clear colors and sharp details to this old beauty.
Regards, Tom

This has such a nice surreal feeling Kevin! I love your gallery, you have great talent! 5 daughters??? I can't even keep up with one!! The greens just glow here, I just love the clarifying tool!
