I prefer the black and white photograph. I do, however, think you could have gotten quite a bit more detail in the clouds. You have a good start.

Both are nice. I like the color version better.

Actually, I intentionally softened the clouds.

Love it! Just love B&W images of old, dilapidated barns.

Both. B&W, maybe just a tad more.

Curmudgeon Loc: SE Arizona

I really like the B&W version. It expresses a feeling of decay and loss that it totally missing in the color version.

Love the B&W, although both are beautiful. Would like to see a little more detail in the clouds, but it is great no matter what.

Nice image Dennis. I like the monochrome image better. It better conveys state of the barn.

Any dilapidated barn seems to take on more character in B/W. I give it an "A+". . . .

MY EYES! MY EYES!

Just kidding. Nice to have the comparison.
But like the others dissenting, I like the B&W better.

RiJoRi Loc: Sandy Ridge, NC

Nice shot!
Crazy idea - try playing with the saturation of the color photo. Not as far as the full de-sat of the B+W, but somewhere in between.

Cloudy days are the best days for shooting buildings. The B&W is preferred.
