Well this is a beautiful site for me at least. Nice rescue and nice scene. Maybe just a little less sepia IMHO

This is gorgeous. I love barn photos and having a barn in front of mountains is even better! I actually have to send this one to my favorites. I just love looking at it for some reason. Great job!

Mary Sue, Love the tones and the sky...I feel like I'm there. Have you considered cropping the small building to the left? I think it might strengthen the composition.

Thank you for the comments on this image.
Chuck, I value your comment about the sepia. This is the second time I've tried it, and haven't really paid enough attention to other sepia toned images to know what is the right amount.
Angela, how flattering that you would put this in your favorites. I'm honored!
Tim, now why didn't I think of cropping that building! I spent so much time worrying over the other side of the image that the obvious solution to the too-centered feeling was sitting over there on the left side. One of the things that I love about this community is how fellow photographers can point out the one thing (or two or three!) that makes all the difference.

I love it, the composition is perfect. Love the tones and these old rustic barn/farm scenes. Do you have a lot of them in Wyoming. I was going to ask where you get these wonderful scenes from and then saw you are from Wyoming, the old west, and yeah this is what you would expect to see. I wish we had that kind of stuff around here. I love it, I think you did a great job with it...very well seen...:):)Linda

Linda, thank you for your very generous comments on my images. I've appreciated every one.
I must come clean about Wyoming...a very beautiful state, but I do not reside there. I'm a native Texan, and have lived here most of my life.
We went to the Tetons and Yellowstone in Wyoming for a vacation last year. Outside Jackson there is a little pocket of old buildings like this, and it is said that they are the most photographed structures in Wyoming. There are several other photographers on this site that have posted pics of the same barn! When I was there last summer, several other UF members were there about the same time. We never spotted each other, however. Wouldn't that have been fun!

Well done. The sepia on this one is close to the older photos shot on glass or tin - so there is a nice rustic and older feel to it.
For a more subtle push, try just +/-10 or +/-5. In the walkthrough I admit I went way over the natural limit to make a point.
Whoops!

Interesting results. I'm surprised at how well the white hot areas in the sky are working out with the rest of the photograph. This is more true to a gut feeling/impression than a mere snapshot.

Mary Sue,
While I do like this image and its tone, I'm struggling with the placement of the big barn. I think i would like it better if the left most structure were not included and the big barn started in the lower left corner and then the eye would travel from there througout the entire frame with the fence line... man that was a run on sentance! :) See crop attached.

Thanks for your crop, which is much stronger than my own composition. Tim (earlier comment) agrees with you, and so do I!
I should have sat with that image a while before posting. It didn't feel right to me, but I was so over-focused on the gradient technique I let the composition slip.
Thank you so much for showing me how it should look!
And...getting ready to go look at your new post!
:)

Wow! Mary Sue, what an awesome photograph!! I don't know if you could have packed any more dramatic elements into a single frame if you tried - the old, weatherbeaten barn, the craggy, snowcapped mountains, the brooding clouds, just wonderful! The sepia toning is really an excellent choice here. I like John's crop a lot, too.
This one goes into my favorites!
p.s. Thanks for your great comments on mine - a great welcome back! :)

Excellent landscape picture, Mary Sue! :)
When I look at this picture it feels like 17th century or something like that.
This composition is good, but I think John Barclay's crop makes the picture more interesting.
Very well done!

Hey Mary Sue,
I love this lovely capture my friend. I hear everyone talking about sepia, but I don't know how to achive it. Is there a button to click, or is it just a yellow and brown hue thing?
My Best,
Jr. Martin
