The Red Barns

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
This is a really pleasant image. I like the near balance from one side to the other, and the blue "mackrel" sky makes the color of the barns stand out and get my attention. The extra wide angle lens effectively helps make the cloud pattern converge at the peak of the main barn. The drive way looks a little blue, but maybe that's the way it actually is. I have seen shell rock roads turn that color when it gets dry after being wet for a while. I like rural scenes anyway, so this is first class with me.
Keep messing with the HDR, and after a while, you will figure out how to get it to do what you want to do.

Creative, but something about the composition doesn't feel quite right. Wish the eye were a bit more prominent as well. 6.

I have no idea how this stacks up with Pink Floyd, but this photo is very captivating. As a viewer I'm drawn in and need to look around a while to figure out what else may lay hidden within. Only minor complaint from me is that I wish the eye was sharper. Overall, very well done. Good luck in the challenge.
