Drove past this abandoned barn in Andover, NJ. I wanted to use a tripod but it was private property and didn't want to press my luck. Loved the colors and the Turkey Vulture perched on the roof was an added bonus. I adjusted the curves and bumped up the saturation about 5%. Did minimal dodging of the grass in foreground to make it a bit lighter. Cloudy-bright day with unusual lighting.

Great capture of the crow on the barn. The colors are rich and wonderful. Since this is advanced editing I would have cloned out the power wire. I also think maybe a little more sky over the crow might have worked better. Nice nostalgic shot. 8

Add more contrast, I think it will enhance this photograph

Ahhh, Fall. My favorite season. Nice blues in the sky to offset the red/orange/browns.

Beautiful rich colors. Think I may know who's this is.

The sky is a bit balnd, and I would have loved it with just a little more saturation to realy let the color of the barn stand out.
Good luck

You picked an excellent subject for a beautiful autumn photo. The focus is a bit soft, but the shot still came out really nice. Good job.

Nice control of the colors and exposure in this. Why did you not get rid of the wire? Like the composition,too!

Wonderful photo. The only thing that is distracting to me is the powerline on the right side, personally I would have cloned this out but I know sone have misgivings about altering a photo. Overal great composition and color well done!

The colors are great in this photo! Maybe just a little sharpening to bring out the textures.
