About I took this this morning on another of our drives. I liked the way this old barn seemed to be nestled in under that huge tree and at the base of the hill. Another title could be "Protected."

Nice shot


Terry Lacey   {K:8947} 5/1/2006
Nice shot Kathy. Does the colour version work?


Rick Page   {K:4948} 5/1/2006
Love the tones on this one........Rick

Nice tones and clarity...and those evergreens look positively huge next to the barn! Nice work Kathy!
Take care...Robin

lovely tones ,very nice capture. cheers

First word that comes to my mind is 'sheltered'. That is a peaceful scene. Tones and lighting are good. The contrast between the light leaves and the background is awesome.

Hi Kathy, what a great shot! Sorry for lack of comments but I've been on a long break from UF for a while. Super composition with it's vertical format. Peaceful scene.

Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 5/1/2006
Hi Terry,
I actually did both versions and couldn't decide between them. This is the color version...what do you think?



Terry Lacey   {K:8947} 5/1/2006
Looks great too Kathy. :)


Alicia Popp   {K:84586} 5/1/2006
Genial Kathy... bucólica imagen... me gusta mucho!!!


Dave Stacey   {K:120467} 5/1/2006
Excellent composition here, Kathy! The vertical orientation really emphasizes the idea of the barn being "nestled" beneath those towering trees. I like the tones you've used, as well.

Susie OConnor   {K:34798} 5/1/2006
Another good shot Sissy. I think I prefer the color version, just because it gives it a sense of "season" with the bright and dark greens. The sepia almost has an IR look about it, which is cool too, but the color works best for me, which is of course, just MHO! ) (I'm glad you put it in comments for comparison.) Well spotted!

really good work here I like the monotone conversion and how you have lighten the foliage on the foreground.. beautiful tones...
very nice composition with the inclusion of the tree with fine details...
nice one Kathy!


Sheila Carson   {K:5912} 5/1/2006
Very nice. It looks like it might be sinking into quick sand! I like how you chose to frame the photo with the trees looming above the barn. I feel like your message was about the huge tree and you conveyed it well with your photo! Well done!

hi, on my monitor this has a darker olive green (brownish green) tone...i like the lighter tree in bloom mixed in with the evergreens and love how you composed...the proportions work well...
well seen and captured...has the appearance of sinking...regards,gayle


Steve Aronoff   {K:21463} 5/1/2006
Another beauty, Kathy. The majesty of the trees is brought out magnificently. I love this one.
Steve
p.s. I like this version better than the color one.


Eb Mueller   {K:23254} 5/1/2006
This is a good use of monochrome as it emphasises the deciduous tree. The highlights on the roof seem to hold more detail than in the colour version. I think it is a spectacular composition, Kathy! I really like the emphasis on the vertical dimension by setting a low horizontal - it is very dramatic!

Hi Kathy, I do love both version, but I prefer this sepia
version, so artistic work. Great tones and feeling, so
peacelfuly atmosphere here! Absolutely nice scene with
lovely contrast, the light blooming tree and dark tones
onte back are great, strong contrast. Excellent effect,
love how to change the tones, it gives full vision
here. NIce photograph ans perfect work my friend!
Bravooo! Well done!

Have a nice day dear!

A lot of titles could spring to mind for this lovely mono toned composition my dear Kathy. Those huge trees stand guard over that fine old barn, so absolutely dwarfed in their company.
I love the shades of green in the colour one but there is something magical in the tones of the main posting.....Hey....I'm a Libran...you want a decision? How long can you wait?:):):) Well done to you sweetie another lovely study to add to your barn series. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray


Yoshiyuki Tanaka   {K:13580} 5/1/2006
Both versions are beautiful, but this monochrome is more elegant, let's say. The grandeur of those trees is dominating the whole shot. A very beautiful capture, dear Kathy!

Looks to be surrounded by beautiful growth, It does look quite protected there. Alison


Tracey Main   {K:7294} 5/2/2006
great shot Kathy well composed and is good in b/w I like the color also very sharp Tracey..


Andre Denis   {K:56069} 5/2/2006
Hi Kathy,
Very nice image that goes well in sepia or colour. I really like the shades of green that you guys get from the trees out there. So, It's a hard choice for me.
The thing that tips the scales to the sepia version for me is that the roof of the barn has much more detail in your sepia image. The colour version seems to have more glare on the roof. But, if you got the detail in the sepia, I'm sure you could adjust the colour one too.
Andre


Kelly Duntley   {K:13055} 5/2/2006
Those trees do indeed look huge. Is this a setting you built at home? Looks almost unreal. The compostion is super.

Wow this is a beautiful scene, the barn looks great in all its rustic beauty barried within the trees, well done..


Melisa Meyers   {K:9610} 5/3/2006
Looks like a barn for very short cows! Another fascinating old structure and your both titles fit it to a T.

Buena toma fotográfica en B&W. Un cordial saludo de
Josep
