maybe more an exercise in processing, stylizing than in comp
thoughts?

I am fine with a thumbs up or down based on subjective/aesthetic reaction, but some feedback, please

Thanks
Scott

Scott,

The first one strikes me as bounty of bright spots ... kinda like looking at gravel on a sunny day. I see it, but I really don't see anything.

The second one is vastly more discernible, but I think it's one of those shots where you're trying too hard to produce something ... i.e. not in the zone and struggling to find your mojo again. Imo, neither of these are very "Scott-like".

Thanks Kent. The feedback is well-stated and appreciated.

My problem is that old to me means pre electricity. I never commented on the first because of the electrical device and power box. The second is better in that respect, but I have to agree with Kent.

I'm not hearing "thud"...

I just think that in the first image the processing is a bit strong-overwhelming. I think if you dialed it down it would work better.

Second image I think 'just' misses. Maybe if there was something you could see through the window like a horse or a tree, or even an old car or person, it would give the image some focus?

Did you take any exteriors of this shed? I think I personally would prefer an exterior shot.

BTW, trying to produce something is exactly what this is. Hoped to have some keepers from an incidental find of a shed along the backroads of the Berkshires on New Year's Day.
Weird to have zero snow cover anywhere in MA in January!

Agreed.
I was wondering if something thru the window might appear. Maybe when I return in the spring or summer there will be some horses or cattle grazing. Pretty empty spot right now.

FWIW. I think perhaps less interest. But more standard processing.

Looking at these now posted, I think they are probably a bit tall in the sky. 4:5 doesnt work, so some more arbitrary crop might improve. And, if I were re-doing the first of the outdoor shots, I probably would warm it a bit.

Update: Added a slight vertical crop, warmed version of the color exterior image.

Lack of breathing room aside, I like the BW processing - crisp with offending crispies.

Last one is my favorite followed by the other exterior color shot.
