Whoa! That's good! I love the lighting; the barn is in the sun and the surroundings are not. It must be hard waiting for the sun to what you want. So kudos to you for catching that moment. The trees are great in this picture. The way the little ones are lined up looks neat. I even like the branch in the top left corner, it kind of frames the picture. Your good. Keep taking pictures.

This is really good. I love the lighting on the barn, and how as Pretty Crazy said, the barn has light while the rest does not. I LOVE that sky. Caps were needed, on that one. I just find the power lines distracting, but honestly there's nothing you could do about that! Trust me. They're in the ground, hard. Haha I sometimes wish I can move things like that, I'm sure others do too. Anyways, great pic. -Mizzle

Hi Mandy I have to say that your first attempt at nature photography was wonderful. I love the lighting and the sky is beautiful. But I think that you should either crop out some of the ground or some of the sky. It's wonderful don't get me wrong it's good but the barn is what we want to focus on, not the ground or the sky. Just a little less of both of those will make it better I think. Good job.

Kudos for an interesting shot! That sky is gorgeous, and I love the position of light on the barn. It's really cool.
The part in front of the trees is under exposed. I would either lighten that in a photo edit program or crop it out just where the trees start so that we have a cleaner picture to look at with less distraction.
And! It would be good if the tree tops were a similar tone so to eliminate extra distraction. It's a really cool photo. I like it.

I don't think I have any criticism on this one. Wonderful sky, as the others mentioned! The clouds are so puffy and...I dunno...dreamy? xD Oh wait...just noticed those stupid power lines. Urgh! Get outta the way, you!
Hehe, as I was saying, this looks like one of those computer-generated images. Like, the edges are...I dunno how to explain! It makes me feel like this is a painting I can just step right into...yep....

I really like this picture. The only thing I can say is that I think it should be cropped at the bottom -- get rid of a little of the dark grass...otherwise, it's fantastic. The clouds are really pretty, but I like the main part/focus of the picture, the barn. It appears rusty and old, but the non-perfection of it is what I like. =)
I don't have much else to say. Good job, and maybe post more photography later!
