Very nice - great use of light, lines, and texture.

Interesting...really liked the composition in #3. A little fuzzy in the left corner. Number 1 was also interesting. I would have liked a little higher angle and tighter to the wall. Did you take it in color because I think with all the wood, it might be interesting too.

Thanks for the input, I actually did take it in color and I like it better ... but the Black and white was on my desk top so I just used it. I go back and forth which I like better. I may have even taken a tighter shot. Ill try to post both later. have to look through the mass of photos I have ha ha.

I like the perspective and composition on this one; very appealing. It has as a magazine ad-like quality.

#2 - Awesome shot!!

#1 the reflected light bouncing off the walls and especially the flooring adds to the depth of this capture. In #3 & #4 I love the way you used the light to create shadow and the silhouetted figures. It shows a lot of imagination on your part. My favorite though is #2. It is such a simple shot that actually produces 2 thought in one. The reflection of the wooded area and the barn door. This is one that I would be proud to hang

I liked it in black and white. It reminded me of something. I don't even know what, but it was a feeling.

I like the color one much better...warmer and inviting.

Thanks everyone for you input and help, Most people who I show the barn to like it alot, it's funny the photos that are my favorite are usually not others favorites. Maybe it is an emotional attatchment that I have to some of the shots I take. Thank you for you compliments and advice!
