Anne, Thanks I'm glad you liked it. For you and other color curious
folks, here is a color rendering. http://flic.kr/p/9syhb1

I like skies like that! nicely done Bw, I think -- but I's like to see
your color original as well - just to see how much you
are exagerating on the lack of color :_)

Bob, posting here is such a valuable experience. I am worried about the
B&W and I should have looked closer at the crop. Thanks for the insight.

Don,
Yes, more of the tree on the right.
And straighten the left edge of the house vs the frame.
Overall a nice B+W rendering of Iowa!
Regards, Bob S.

I think the Spring conditions were ideally suited to this scene. Only problem
is the lack of enough frame area to include the far right tree.
Too bad! It just doesn't work for me as displayed here.
Wider lens or two separate shots along with some perspective changes.

Mark I am so glad you made a connection to this photo. It may be among
the last of its type. As Iowa was trying to ban such pictures.
Eventually they moved on to the budget but they are still in session so
it may be July 1st before any new law goes into effect. I may become the
purveyor of farm porn.

That's nice - I really like the feel to this image.

Brian Thanks for the nice words. I will scout up the original and see if
there is anything left t work with. But you know the sky is full of
white puffy clouds today and if I can remember where this farm was....

Nothing at all wrong with the rendering - well done.
Like others, I think the composition is let down a bit by the right hand
side. If it were mine I'd crop it at the left hand edge of the barn on
the right and maybe take a bit off the bottom.
There's lots of photo opportunities in that location. Well worth
another trip back in any weather!
Cheers
Brian

at best.

lovely bw rendering, Don. I think you're more fluent than you realize.
Cheers, Christine

And why did I push a photo on the same day as Mark Roberts. I showed
Marks pictures to my biggest fan (my wife) after she heard me gushing
and she said "Oh they can't be that much better than yours" followed by
"OH! Wow! WOW OOOH!" When I said she was killing me here she went
through them a second time and finally found one ONE! she said she might
have left out.
