This is exactly what I think of when I think of the midwest. Where's the tornado and Dorothy?

Great capture... as usual!

Evening sun (?) on the subject - dark storm clouds in the background - perfect combination.

Great shot! That's a mean looking sky there

This is so nice
The dark clouds really helps set it off...

Love the foreground lighting with the dramatic sky.

That is wonderful !

Thank you all for the kind comments. This shot is pretty much straight out of the camera with a little cropping and sharpening.

The sky was dark all morning but I saw an opening of light in the distance so I waited for 15 minutes. Finally, the light hit for about 30 to 45 seconds and this is what I came away with.

Very nicely done. Simple subject but powerful image!

thumb Well done! I love the dark skies and how the light just hits the barn!

Dwayne Oakes

Great photo ! It seems to me the barn is to high up in the frame.
I think if you crop the FG field in half it will balance out the crop a bit
better and lower the barn in the frame. Other than that great job
and thanks for posting.

Take care,

Dwayne Oakes

Thank you Aaron and April for the kind comments.

Dwayne,

Thank you for the suggestion. I tend to stick with the photo ratio and never do odd cropping. Also, when I shot the photo I was thinking 3rds with the grass and field being a 1/3, the barn being 1/3 and the sky being 1/3

Very nice. I really like your balance of the composition.
