p.1 #1 · It Rained!

Just got back from visiting family in the North Carolina mountains. The colors were beautiful (so I was told), just peaking out this week (so I was told). But while I was there, it rained. Slow, drizzly, damp, never-ending rain. Shot these from inside the truck.

Thank you, sir.

I forgot to mention, these are straight out of camera. No processing done yet.

I think those are superb conditions for the choice of subject. The closer view in 2 is nice, I would have gone in even closer with just the barn and two trees and background and not the busy foreground.
There is a strange artifact along the left lower edge of the frame in both images, I would crop that out.

Thanks Ute. I hadn't noticed that. But now that you point it out, there is one in the upper right edge also. Hummmmm.

I agree with Ute (ScaryFox), #2 is particularly nice (without the artifact - possibly due to a truck window?), and an even tighter shot really emphasizing the contrast of the dark barn and the bright tree would be fun to see (you can probably get there with a crop, although maybe a somewhat severe one). The soft light really works well though, maybe even better than bright sunlight would have in this particular case.

How about this crop? Does this work?

One thing I just noticed.. in addition to some lost detail, there is also a color shift when the picture is downsized for posting. Not so much in the browns but the orange of the trees and the some of the greens in the grass shifted up in intensity.
