Thanks for choosing my image in last week’s contest. --jaymatt
I took this photo Saturday and have done nothing with it yet; it is SOOC. I am going to edit it myself during the voting, and it will be interesting to see what you do with it.

Big Old Barn Fading Away: my view
Very interesting photo. I didn't understand the barn's floor on the second story. While I was doing the edit I thought it might be a sign. I changed that area, it made it look like the photographer took it from a different angle by the time I was through. I finished my edit and got ready to post when I saw Matt's edit and it became clear what was really happening in that area. As I said, Very Interesting. 🤔🤔🤔
Love these old buildings!
I love these old barns John - here's my view:
Here's mine. I really didn't do much - just my standard stuff. But I did apply a neutral density filter to the sky to bring out some detail. I didn't want to lighten the image too much because then it would lose it's "dreary" look. I did straighten it. A crooked barn is interesting. A leaning garage isn't! I've noticed that images usually look darker on UHH than they do on my LR screen (same monitor!). So this is darker than I made it.
An empty barn..... or is it?

Interesting photo. This is my best shot at "improving" it.
First time I ever tried Inpixio Studio

A strong vision needs strong colours (and a fair bit of contrast

). Welcome to the section, Jeff.

Here's three versions. Each was edited lightly in Lightroom, then processed further in other programs, which are indicated in the titles.
I went with the "fading theme", faded watercolor.
