It was the delicate greenery against the wall of rich weathered siding that stopped me. I really had in mind limiting the background to only a portion of the barn, but ultimately it was the character of the structure that attracted me. I gave it the hint of a third dimension by including the right corner. Even the slight view of the roof adds a minimal amount of depth. I always initially approach a structure from the diagonal. The larger surrounding tree limbs add clutter, but don't completely destroy it for me. Thanks, Boris for asking me to review this shot. I now have a better understand as to why I shot it. :)
