Little Shack on the Prairie

Came across this old shack while out on a drive. Now I can't remember exactly where.

This should be good for a game of "Find the vertical" :) . Whatever the true verticals are, I think it would look less wrong if you rotated to bring the shed and horizon to more of an appropriate angle. I don't think you'll find any angle that has everything looking right, because there seems to be a lot of tilting one way or the other in the original scene. I think the windmill tower will be the most tolerant of an induced lean.

. I am a sucker for old barns. I really like the light that you have captured here. The golden tones are beautiful The leaning verticals emphasize it's age and progression into decay. My guess is nothing is plum. I am not sure that a square crop is the best for this image, I would like to see a little more of the sky.
Very nice.
Very nice.

The gentle curves, sags, and bulges of the siding and the tilts of the corners, sides, and roof of this old shack testify to how it has settled in relation to the earth to which it almost seems to know it is in the process of returning. You have captured that well.
And I agree with CM that some more sky...and I tnink perhaps a bit more space on the right...might help the composition.
it's a part of the landscapes that, I know,, you and I see often in this North-central region of our country, and I'm glad you were attracted by its character.

Beautiful sharp exposure of this old prairie building. I think you did an amazing job of exposing for the front of the building and still getting all that color and detail in the sky. I have shots like this .. the sky is either blown or the front of the building is dark. I like that you gave the building extra room, and I wouldn't even mind if it had a bit more. The foreground field is awesome!

A pleasant picture of a rustic shack. I think these old buildings really shine when they are pictured as part of the scenery, how they fit into and become part of the landscape. I want more landscape.
