Hello from Critique Club :)

This is a nice, ordinary some sort of an "animal barn" photo. From where I stand, I can't see any abondancy but I see a structure in middle of a field.

Technically, exposure is right on the money for outside lights. You did not want to show inside the structure anyway, you thought just to show empty black interior and the long uncut field should do the job... but, it seems like didn't work well.

Composition, I do like the way it is, although I personally crop it bit more and have that barn a bit closer without eliminating the plants and sky.

I visited your page and checked out your work. I see you do have the eye, nice compositions, clean images.. you are on a right road :) If you want to be more successful in DPC, advice 1-Check out previous winners 2-keep your images simple 3-sharp and good contrast images most likely the winners.

and the rest, practice practice and more practice. Don't be discourage if you don't win anything for a long time and keep trying :)

Good luck

Leo

Colors are a bit strong; curious what's in the building.

Great cinematic crop for this. I'm liking the saturation on the grass. There's a light spot behind the stable on the left that looks oddly out of synch though.

Looks like it's been empty for years. Good angle and the dark openings add to the mood. 7

Nice subject. I think it should have been a little lower or higher in the frame. Just my opinion which doesn't mean much.

I like the subject, but I feel like it's a little boring... All straight horizontal and vertical lines, nothing really captures a feeling of abandonment or sadness or lonliness or anything. Try to give the building a personality and an emotion and it will really pop.
