Nice, but too much sky. Should have shot about one foot over the hedges and increased the barn horizontally and reduce the sky a bit

Very nice... good use of negative space. Also, good controst of colors. Photo seems a bit tilted. Looks like this photo was shot in the middle of the day... I'd love to see how this looks around dusk or dawn! --7-- sohr

Red, blue, green, puffy white clouds...this looks like a storybook picture. :-) 9 kathleenm

Great color. The only thing I'd change is the tilt .. I would've liked to see the 'grass horizontal' line up with the bottom edge of the photo.

I love the bright sky and red of the barn. Great photo!!!!

wish the horizon line/ front of the barn was horizontal - it annoys me as soon as I look at this. The colours of the barn are great, working well with the green/ blue of the sky.

It might be interesting to reshoot this barn and get a whole lot closer in if you can, and just isolate segments of it. Not sure if that is possible for you or not. A promising subject. - Gordon

This is outstanding.The color, the beautiful sky, everything.... It almost looks like a painting. A 10 from me.

one of my sayings is 'can't mis it - like a red barn on the horizon'! and youve captured that so well - i love this shot and the cropping is good except for a little skew and my eye hungers for more of the filed - but watta clear, colorful pic! Nice! 8 sgtpepper6344

If this were tilted ever so slightly to the right, I think I'd have to hand it a 10... still a 9, though! I like the composition, and the colors are quite vivid.

great color

Cool shot, Great Barn!! The red is awesome! I like your negative space, the color, the cloud...really nice shot. DPz

If ever there was perfect "postcardy" photo of someplace, this is it! Stunning color, I love the composition. Makes me think of when I lived in Dothan, Alabama. I wouldn't do a thing different with this shot, and actually, would consider myself blessed to do half as well ! lhall-10

Gorgeous. Though you have a beautiful sky, my ONLY suggestion would be to have a little less sky and a little more field in the foreground. Of course, then, you would lose that really nice cloud up there. karmat

Interesting perspective. Nice warm color in this shot. Good luck
09/23/2002 01:05:00 PM
Pretty shot. Good color. Maybe a bit over sharpened. Good luck, score 7 Justine

Very pleasing visually.

I really love the way this red barn punches out of the image and says "hello" to me. The cotton fields in the southeastern US are quite definitive of many years of culture and economy for millions of people. Great shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Oh, wow, so very pretty.
09/23/2002 07:00:00 AM
Great color contrasts. I think a little bit too much sky though.
09/23/2002 04:34:00 AM
Nice scene. The red barn with a white roof is great. And the deep red is beautiful. The shot has a great mood. I would have maybe tried to level the horizon. chrisab.
