Thanks a lot for your comments. Most of you say this image is too dark and that is probably right, but it is different from one monitor to another. In my monitor it is not too dark in my opinion but I have seen it in other monitors which it looks much too dark. So if you try to adjust the brightness of your monitors you will maybe se this image in a new light. Thanks, your comments were most helpful.

Needs to have the subject lightened up just a tad but otherwise nicely done!

The sky is amazing, but the subject is too dark and I think some of the detail is lost. All in all, a strong photograph, none the less.

Too much detail lost in the subject due to darkness...potentially a great image with that corrected...

The clouds have it. This is excellent!

The sky is very impressive, but the building is too dark in comparison. It's just bright enough not to be a silhouette, but dark enough to be uncomfortable to look at.

In as much as I like the composition and stunning sky, the building ended up being too dark and lost it's detail.
Oh to have had this shot in an advanced challenge and been able to dodge & burn.
Nice shot regardless.

I like the way the clouds came out. Wish the house was a little lighter so I could see some more detail.

Nice sky, but the main subject is too dark to make out any detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/17/2005 05:28:45 PM
Either the natural lighting is odd, or the adjustment. Still, in all, I like this one.

The barn is much too dark for me to see any detail in it. It looks like a really nice photograph, with great composition. Very dramatic sky.

Very nice picture, but I would have prefered to be able to see the textures and details of the abandoned building ....

dramatic and slightly surreal. good job!

Too dark for my taste
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Catch 22 I know, the building would look better lighter but you would loose the moody sky here... Very good image none the less.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yeeps! The cloud gives this a forboding feeling and the sunlight makes it look like an oil painting. The building seems almost too dark but it fits the mood. Very interesting photograph. I give it an 8.

This photo is great! Just looks so "creepy" like a warewolf is going to pop out. Great Job.

building is too dark..

Beautiful shot of the sky, but overall the pic is too dark. Since you were close enough to get the outline of the roof with such clarity, I assume that most of the rest of the pic was as clear. Would like to _see_ it...

Nice photo and a great take on this challenge but in my opinion there is to much sky and the building should be the prodominant subject in this photo. I feel that to much went into the sky and you lost a lot of detail on the building which is a little to dark and unclear. Good luck in this challenge.

What a gorgeous sky! The building itself is a bit dark, though.

nice composition but too dark
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 04:46:37 PM
What a cool sky to add a dreariness and abandonment to your building. It's a really nice composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 03:43:14 PM
Would see more detail in a closer crop, of course. Too dark.

I love this photo, but would like to see it lightened up a bit.

Creative, i'd like to know what effect processing you did?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 02:21:53 PM
Very dramatic shot. I wish I could see more of the building.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 01:08:06 PM
Looks good but a little too dark, makes it hard to see the barn.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/13/2005 10:24:44 AM
I love everything about this shot except the building is too dark. The angle of the shot is good. The sky is great. I just think you need to see the building a little more.
