another old barn in Eastern Oregon

I dont think this one has long to keep standing

My personal feeling is that such constructions are more appealing,when seen from a distance in the landscape

Since you say it's okay to edit.......

Removed the fence, weeds and power pole in the back. Less than 30 seconds worth using content aware in CS5.

Edit

Although I thought I reverted back to no other edits, it looks as if there may have been some curves adjustments left. Didn't mean to.​

I have one at home that I did remove all the metal posts but left the wood fence and barbed wire.......I feel those are important to the shot. other wise I would have done a shorter crop.

Fair enough. There didn't seem to be enough of the posts in frame for me to think it wasn't an oversight.

So why did you leave the metal posts in the image here? They seem to contradict the mood and time of the old tired building. Curious.

lazy on this one. this is exactly how it came out of the camera.......well almost LOL. I dont feel every image should be retouched, I like seeing others edits and ideas its how we improve.

I like the fence out version much better. I think the fence is distracting and draws the eyes away from the barn. I love the composition of the shot, but think the colors need to pop a little more. If you ever get to this spot again it may be fun to do an HDR shot from it.

Thanks. The shot was backlit this was the shady side. I plan on going back and shoot in the winter

Honestly, I wish there had been more of the fence and wire.Its a nice shot, possibly crop it so its not dead center though? Just a thought.

Its the lean that makes it seem heavy on center, to my ol eyes anyways.

This was to tough one to crop, more to the left and it felt awkward more to the right and it got worse.

Tonal contrast, 16X9 pano crop. Level adjustments, going by the small post in the BG. Working with the original will give more room for fine tuning.

That's an awesome subject (at least for those of us who enjoy shooting derelict rural buildings). I love the fact that the colours pop, even if the image is (almost) straight out of the camera.

As is, the composition doesn't work for me: I think it needs more of the fence or – like kundalini's and Sisco's edits show – none at all. (Then again, it all comes down to what the photographer chooses to show and how.)
