Greetings from the Critique Club!

I concur with all of the compliments below! This is a fine image that uses color well, so meets the challenge well.

I enjoy how the red stands out among all of the neutrals and grays here. You also have the fence and its shadows that act like leading lines to the barn.

This is an engaging photo with lots of tones and textures to look at. Folks below have mentioned the perspective or point of view, and I think that the fence works well as a vehicle to lead our eye to the barn. On the other hand, the fence is so interesting it kind of pulls focus, despite the redness of the barn's roof. The fence also adds a sense of mystery and awe to the image that I wish the barn added as well.

To pull focus off of the fence while retaining its wonderful qualities, it may be possible to step just a foot or two to the right and still get those interesting lines and depth of field, but the lines would lead toward the center of the photo rather than to the side. Also, coming at a time of day when there is more intersting light might enhance the interest of the barn roof, giving it a sense of "mystery" that the fence currently has.

You may want to push the saturation levels ever so slightly in post processing as well.

In sum: I like this photo a lot. You have certainly communicated color, and the great things about this photo could be made even better, perhaps, with more interesting light and a slightly different point of view.

I look forward to seeing your good work in the future!

Thanks,

David

Very nicely done. I like the way you include the fence in the photo.

I'm not sure wide angle works for this - the shadows seem to be the main focal point rather than the red.

Interesting angles.

Nice shot. Could use straightening.

What a wonderful old barn and fence. I think the fence kind of overpowers the barn. Maybe a different angle on it would improve your picture. 5

I like the lines of the fence but not the lines of the building, which is more of the focus of the image.

Hmm, the ground and fence post are level but the roof and horizontal lines of the windows and door aren't. How weird. Anyway I still like the picture.

I see red in this too - but I also see a lot of brown, scrub bushes, antennas and other stuff that really detracts from the main subject.

Vivid red, nice. Not too crazy for the perspective here.
