I like #2 as the foliage seems to frame the subject a bit but, the barn has a slight lean that is disturbing.

Hmmm, could you tell me which way the lean is? Thanks for your thoughts Tradio.

Along with the terrific framing coming from opposite angles, the farm implement is more visible in #2. It just needs a critter peeking out from one of the bays

Good point concerning the farm implement and a critter would have been wonderful! Thanks, as always, for your thoughts Linda.

Number two, it has more depth to it because of the foliage being included.

I prefer the second shot - the barn has greater prominence, the tree and shrub at opposite corners frame it nicely, and the clouds are better positioned.

Thank you for your thoughts Sue.

Looks to me like it is leaning to the right a tad but, if you did not see it, maybe I was holding my head off kilter.
Look at the left side of the barn and compare it with the edge of the frame. They did not look parallel to me...?

No. 2 is my vote due to the framing offered by the tree branches top right, But I'd like to see this with the shrubbery bottom left cloned out. A slight crop up from the bottom to about the midpoint of the shrub would, IMHO, improve the composition and also make the cloning easier, The texture and detail of the grass in the foreground is sufficient to "anchor" the photo so the eyesnag shrub is not needed for that purpose and detracts from the photo. Perhaps a slight LOCAL increase in contrast for the Hay rake? beside the barn would reinforce the idea that this is a working barn, Also, A slight increase in overall contrast might help bring out the texture in the barn siding and punch up the sky too.
If you decide to rework this photo, I'd love to see the results. The feeling of "barnyness" (new word) is difficult to capture but your photo No. 2 just cries "barn". My camera club was assigned the subject of barns one month. Your barn photo compares favorably with the best that resulted from that assignment.

Thank you so much for your detailed analysis of the posted image. You make several valid points, and you are welcome to edit the photo to show us what you mean if you wish to take the time.

Hi, Bmac,
#2 for me !
The low perspective with foreground foliage framing works well for me.
There is also a bit more space in front of the ground level loafing shed that aids composition and keeps the barn from being squeezed to the left border.

Dave

Thanks for the critique Dave, always appreciate it.

#2 gets my vote. The framing of the tree and shrubs add to the photo. The angle shows the farm equipment. The clouds also add more definition to the sky. Mahalo for sharing.

Photographed in Upstate, NY. Here are two different views of the same barn. Which do you like better, if either?
