An abandoned barn with a rusty roof outside Baie-St. Paul, Québec, along the St. laurence hillside. The day was almost closed, but there was still enough light for me to shoot this barn.
Editing:
1) Used Adobe Photoshop to use auto level, auto colour, auto brightness/contrast, and then manual brightness adjustment.
2) Saved photo from Photoshop and used it in Microsoft Photodraw then to adjust hue, tint, saturation, colour balance, and further brightness and contrast.
3) I applied a brightness mask around the outside of the photo to draw attention to the barn.
4) Sharpenned the photo a little bit.
5) Added the 50% transparent border and the solid border, and then the white, pin-stripe one along the inside.
6) Resized, saved for web.

I like this picture - that red roof really sticks in my mind. I like the posts sticking up from the snow. I don't like the border... a bit too distracting. Something plainer would have framed your picture better, I think, and I don't like how the border overlaps the posts and the corner of the smaller building. Let it breathe! :) Straightening the horizon would improve the image, too.
