An old hay crib, exposed in an open field, yielding to age and the prevailing wind.

Hi Cal,

Very nice shot. I like the B + W conversion and the setting is lovely. One nit pick is that I would like to see a bit more detail in the snow in the foreground. Nice shot nonetheless. Good luck this week.

Steve, I agree with you that the "plain" foreground is a weakness. Within the narrow angle that emphasised the qualities of the hay crib that I wanted to capture, there was only smooth, windblown snow in the foreground, so I had to go with it. Perhaps it is just rationalization, but I do think that the bleakness of the foreground may help set the "atmosphere" of the scene. Thank you very much for taking the time to look, consider, and comment.

Nice shot, Cal. Lovely, stark quality. You haven't posted in awhile. I hope all's been well with you.

All best wishes,

Endre

Nice graphic B&W Cal, I especially like the contrast of the roof against the distant hill.
It's barren and (wind)bent
