    Default Down on the Farm

    This is a picture of the barn at the farm where I work. It took me a while to find a good angle from which to photograph it, one that minimizes any modern elements. I used seven textures, three of my own, three from Shadowhouse, and this WarmSun texture by Kim Klassen. Comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Christopher, I like the composition with the slight S curve leading into the image. I do wish you could have stepped back a few feet to give it some more room but I understand your considerations and think you still created a very nice image. The aging and textures are lovely as usual.

    The aging and textures applied make this a stunning creation. Well thought out and exicuted.

    Christopher, aged perfectly. Your elimination of the modern elements really give this that old time feeling.

    Now that's a real old style barn! Very nice treatment, Christopher, like the FG details and dark edges, really transports you to an ealier time. Great as is, but perhaps just a bit canvas on LS to give it more room. Nice work!

    Beautiful composition, Christopher. I think a close crop works fine with the old style image. Amazing how you used seven textures to create this! Masterful work of art for certain

    Wow Christopher, I really like what you did with this image. Very well executed. I don't know what's to the right of the image (off canvas), so maybe could stand to have just a bit more breathing room on the right - but honestly, I love it as is. Very nice!!

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate the comments. I can see the point on giving it a little more room. This image is full frame, but I'll keep that in mind next time.
