This is a composite black & white photo. Although the barn and field were photographed near Palouse, Washington, the sky was imported from the collection in Luminar 4. As such, I felt the sun rays needed to shine on the upper part of the field, so I did some minor lightening in that area. Plus, I dodged the barn bit to help it stand out from the grassy area. A touch of selenium toning was added along with a mild vignette. Your opinions are most welcome. I'm going to wait a few days before I decide to have it printed at Costco. Oh, I think it looks much better by clicking the download button. Ken

Outstanding, Ken. Composition, tones, sharpness, just great in B&W.

Nice creative job on this old barn. Your pp treatments is best delivered in b/w. Question: What if you cropped just a bit off the foreground?

I think cropping the foreground would take away from the remoteness and isolation of the structure, which is what hoped to convey. Thanks for your thoughts though.

Ah. Thanks for the insight. Never considered this approach. Still, enjoyed the photo.

Great composition, however, it seems to me that the barn roof is a bit too highlighted as the light seems to be coming from the opposite side.

Hmmm... If you follow the sun rays, I think it hits the left side of the roof. I'll look it over more carefully, though. Thanks for studying my efforts. Ken

This is a beautiful image. Any chance of seeing it in color? I truly appreciate your photographic skill, but I also prefer color.
