Good mood set on this one. Barn is a little too centered for my taste. Good shot though - Inspzil

Good title and shot. Seems a bit blown out though.

Nice way of framing the left of the photo with the tree. The angle and framing/cropping are great in my opinion. The barn looks very lonely, and so it's titled well. Focus and clarity are good. I like the black and white. Does it have a slight color tint? or are my eyes playing tricks on me. The lighting conditions look like they were good. no distracting hot spots or shadows. nice landscape. Good luck in the challenge.

Comment by TOLady:
Yes, I like this. Living in the great white north of Canada, I know this type of landscape. You've done well with the focus on the tree in the foreground, but enough of the old barn in focus to get a feeling of depth. I can feel the cold wind in this picture.

Comment by camelotnorth:
Yes, it certainly says lonely. the bush and shed make a nice contrast to the snow and is very effective in grayscale.

Comment by decoteau:
The photo is very evocative and simple, yet beautiful. The lone tree/bush with the aged building compliment one another nicely.

The B&W works well and I like the composition.

A bit fuzzy in focus and low in interest level to the right of the barn. The focus is good in the front and a great place to start the center of attention. Feel good for getting out there and doing it!

Composition (content)
Arghh, this must be the most difficult picture to comment on in my whole CC career. :)

I tried to capture the mood and create a visual representation of what I think fits to the song.
I know the song, but I don't like it (music, never listened to the lyrics) to put it mildly. This image puzzles me, I don't know what I am seeing. I wan't to, but I can't. Perhaps that is a little frustrating. The mood it expresses to me is a dark and depressed one.

I have looked up the lyrics. They seem to be a bit dark and puzzled as well, so I guess you have done a good job.
..duplicate, then you wait for the next kuwait....
..i drink on a daily basis
though it seldom cools my temper
it never cools my temper....

Interesting. When it comes to drinking by the way, that could be reflected in the strange curvy flow in the top. Like the world distortions you see when you are drunk, just before you fall on the floor with the world spinning very very very hard. (I succesfully avoid that the last couple of years).

The thing that I most like about the picture itself (without the feeling it expresses) is the color and arrangement of the yellow/green texture.
The figure seems to have the profile of a teddybear. My first thought about the green stuff was a green lit LP, but it has got to many tracks.

This is something that works for you and then it is great, or it doesn't and then it means nothing to you.

Was there away to avoid that spot in the yellow, left of the figure?

My opinion
I don't really know what too think of it.
