Somewhere in Tennessee

This is another wonderful barn from
Tennessee. I love these old beautiful
buildings which are so full of character.

  11. SUE...thank you so much for that nice comment.
    There's something about old barns that I
    love..maybe the color or the rustic look..
    I have a lot of photographs still of many
    barns all over the country..maybe I'll do
    another?

  20. Hilda, so beautifully done. I like the way you repeat triangles and the one on the left roof points to the roof on the right. The texture is palpable -- the old door and the lower part of the barn are luscious. The close cropping is very effective!

  22. Wow, I love this one!! The composition is great and I really like the way there is a little bit of sky with birds showing in the background, which gives it so much depth.

  23. Hilda I love the close cropping you chose for your composition. It's almost like a still life. Beautiful! The aging of the wood on the door, big metal lock, corrugated roof are perfect. The three birds in flight contrast movement and life with the stillness, and emptiness of the abandoned barn. Really well done.
