Very nice textures and mood!
The big white spot is a little distracting to me....I would crop some a t the top.
Still good work Phil!

Agree the white spot is distracting from an otherwise well composed image. The straight on view works really well here as it makes roof seem to be holding back sky more or less. Leaving a portion of grass in frame helps add some color and provides a nice foundation for the rest of image. Just a thought reguarding the white spot in sky, by cutting out or placing a new sky in may work and it would still have same appeal to it without having to crop it out. Nice.

Interesting concept!
It looks great for me! (and with the white spot I agree with Carlos)
Otherwise very good work! (thumbup)

I agree, great textures and I'm not too fond of the white spot. A good image regardless.

Looks good!
I'd crop from top just until slightly above the roof top.
Not only to get ride of the "white spote" but also it makes a better harmony imo.

The contrasts of colors would probably make this a good candidate for a bw shot.
Would love to see the crop and this in bw.... maybe for additional download... please? :p

I think that the door has a lot of character to it. It's Interesting that such dilapidated things make for very good art.

Thanks people sooo much - I really appreciate your comments.
But i'm gutted
I really love my White spot! I spent ages getting my White spot just like that.
Goddamit I've never curved the curves so much!
Seriously though - however loyal I plan to be to my White Spot it's so good to get honest feedback and I really appreciate it...
Actually for me... I'm beginning to think it needs something between the pole and the door - I feel it's crying out for a splash of red - a watering can, or an exotic beauty. I took this while on holiday in North Wales - I'll be returning there early next year - exotic beauties please apply

Personally, the most appealing part is the bleached whiteness of the house against the heavy colour of the grass. However, the brightness in the sky is distracting. Overall, I really like it :)

Like moser, I also think a crop would work here, but I know you love the white spot, so, forget about it. :)

Its interesting. The bottom of the house is straight, but the door suggests its tilted. I cannot resolve this. But I like the lines and simplicity.

Time for a new one maybe? ;)

Thanks everyone for your kind comments...

Just out of 'historical' interest i returned to the barn last February - it was in the process of being 'renovated' - converted into a holiday let. Far more useful than a disused run-down barn of course, but I couldn't help but feel saddened. One of the joys of photography is that occasionally you get to capture details from a moment in time that would otherwise be lost forever.

Yes I guess it is time for a new one from me :) but I'm not sure when - i can't get my head in the right place at the moment... guess I'll just stalk around the galleries for a while - I'm sure I'll get it back again sometime.

Take care everyone - keep being creatve.
