Ha, pretty cool. I wouldnt stand next to it on a windy day, but pretty cool.

Neat image, I am very interested in capturing old farm buildings - they are remnants of our past history and I always wonder why they were abandoned. My only concern would be that the sky looks a little too blue - did you use a polarizer for this one?

It was kinda scary, with the type of lean that foretold its death. It's very windy around here, so it's just a matter of time until it goes... It might not be there the next time we drive by.

No filters used. I did work on the sky a bit in post. I know what you mean – I might have gone a tad too far.

Thanks for your comments, guys.

Nicely shot, very sharp! It looks like something out of a PIXAR movie.

...like one angry bird had hit on the hiding house of that dirty pig
Loved it

If you look again, you'll see that the barn is smiling at you, even though it's missing a front tooth

Thanks, Allison and Frequency!

I was just going to comment on the face I see. It still kills me that you find these places so easily!

Time consuming, but easy

Nice capture but that house looks like it wants to eat me.

Ack, that's just unnerving. I can hear the creaking.

Dang. I keep trying to reach forward and straighten my monitor...

Frederico, on a slightly more serious note, have you considered sharing your shots with the heritage society? I think many of these structures are on their last chapter, so to speak, and after they are gone there'll be no record of what was there before. You may have enough for a good book.

In this particular case there was no creaking... but it will come, for sure I wonder if the support provided by the rock under the left side of the barn (see it in the photo) was partly responsible, after many years, for the lean to the other side.

Your post made me go and search for local heritage society. There is one in Winnipeg, but apparently none one for the rest of Manitoba (which is where i take most of my photos). I'll keep looking, you never know... Thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks, guys.

LOL. There is definitely a face there... with a surprised looks like "OH Sh!t I'm about to fall".
I really like to composition, though I seldom like anything so symmetrical or centered. The only think I would suggest is t back off of the saturation in post. Otherwise, I like it. Fun picture.

Good point. Although I never add saturation, I do add contrast and that of course tends to enhance the colours. Sometimes I desaturate after adding contrast, but this time I clearly didn't.
