It was the delicate greenery against the wall of rich weathered

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. :)

I see your reasoning, Jack. I should point out that I am driving by two
old buildings (hard to say if they are barns, after all, it is entirely
different country/culture we're talking here) almost every day. I tried
to photograph one of them once - wasn't too successful. Since then, I
couldn't come up with the way to photograph either of them that would
satisfy me. I should certainly stop thinking and start shooting - this
way we can "get even".
