    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Glad you enjoyed the window

    This barn is in a rural NY town that was an agricultural center from early 1700's and still has many of the original buildings, both barns and houses. It is now in the middle of fruit-growing (pears, apples and etc) country along the Hudson River.

    Nice find - classic composition. thumb.gif
    Might look nice in B/W also.

    I love shots of old windows, and this one is very nice! I like the way you made the textures really come out.

    Thank you for commenting.
    The sun was a big help with the textures.


    Went to your website and love your doggie.

    Well, composed and great details. I think this particular composition is better suited in Other Cool Shots, so I'm moving it there. thumb.gif

    B&W might be worth a try

    They're both good. Color is harder to get right, so since this works well in color I'd stick with that.

    IMHO - 60/40 B&W to Color - edge to B&W for stark conveyance of decay.

    But barns where I come from are mostly red and red imparts "barn-ness".

    Hard to tell the b&w is a barn.

    Lol - you've got a very good point there!
    Where I'm from, the barns are so old that they only come in B&W. rolleyes1.gif

    Very, very nice. The textures, color and symmetry all add to this.
