Fits The Challenge-Yes.

Composition-Good. My personal taste would of liked less on the top.

Background-Bricks, very nice, good rich color, interesting texture.

Digital Processing-It's a bit bright but I'll admit it could be my monitor. The focus is a little soft in both the near and far ground.

My Opinion-I think cropping out the full roof would of helped the eye focus more on the red brick and garage doors. It's a very busy picture, roof, brick, white doors, tree, leaves, shadows. The eye can't find anywhere to land. The brick would of been the spot and by cropping both the top and bottom it would of made the viewer focus on the brick alone.
I hope that long sentence makes some sense and helpful. If you have any other questions please contact me any time.

COMPOSITION- Very nice subject for the challenge. The red color is great. The angle you shot this at is ok, however it feels to be leaning slightly to the left. Your lighting is good on this. You've filled the frame nicely and it works for this kind of shot.

BACKGROUND- There is not really a background here. The barn fills the frame nicely.

CAMERA WORK- As mentioned above, it is slighty tilting. I wonder how it would have looked at a different place. It might have given it more depth. Shutter and aperature are great, no super highlights or underexposed areas.

POST PROCESSING- you've done good at resizing the shot. Saturation and everything are perfect.

MY OPINION- I like photo's of old buildings. This is very nicely shot, but to me it kind of lacks some depth and just feels flat.

I love the dappled light and all the stuff draping over it. That sets off the faded colours and rough textures nicely. The light is a little strong though, making parts of the image solid black. Good composition.

This is a nice photo, others may have met the challenge a little better, if you take it very literally. 7

Love the color of the barn. Nice choice of subject; lots of interest with the vines growing all over the place.

Reminds me of morning eyelids prior to coffee invigoration. The easy on the eyes tones jive well. I like your choice of tree lines and shadows to break up the rectangular nature of the shot. The dead leaves at the bottom add a pleasant softening touch to the chunky nature of the bricks. The bits of gray shingles and eaves shadow cap off the photo nicely. A fairly worthy shot deeming additional positive remarks.

I see the squres, however I find the piccture too busy (trees, branhces, shadows), even though it's supposed to help depict something old. Did you try it in black and white. Might add a special touch. Good luck. Jacko.
