Now there's a rickety old barn after my own heart! I love it! Really cool!
I like your treatment on the barn and land, but, as Jim mentioned, the sky looks a very little over-cooked. Not bad, though!
Thanks to all for the comments. I used HDR on this image to capture more detail in the clouds/highlights. I used a program called Dynamic Photo HDR. It is comprised of 5 exposures, one stop apart: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. Although the program works pretty good I am not happy with the level of control it provides at various stages. Can't zoom in while applying tone mapping, doesn't leave the image in seperate layers, etc.. Does anyone know of an HDR program that includes these features?
Here's a B&W from the same series:
It was really too windy to be trying HDR. You will see ghosting in the grass surrounding the barn and the clouds in both shots would have been sharper if it was a calmer day. Thanks for all the observations.
Pretty cool B&W of the barn. That is a cool angle you got on it. Interesting how it doesn't seem that large in the color version, but with the angle you got here in the B&W it seems like it could be 100 ft tall!
