Aged Window

[Dagwood56]

Found a neat old barn at the edge of a park on Tuesday. I desaturated the color a little in PP to hopefully help add an aged look without really making it look old. Thoughts and comments are welcome as always.

I don't know, that desaturated color looks really odd - it might be better as a tinted B&W. The lost detail in a lot of the highlights bothers me as well. You might be able to retrieve at least some of that if you have a raw file. I would also increase the contrast in the area above the window so there's something more interesting going on up there to balance the window.

to me the angle you shot this is kind of bugging me. i wish it was a little more head on maybe

the angle doesnt bother me, what bothers me is the Escher like effect the boards behind the cutout are playing tricks on me.
