 Barn just down the road from my home. The land owners are getting ready to demo it so I had to get some captures. It's a very interesting place. Taken at 11:22 PM it must have been around 20 degrees fahrenheit outside. Had to move quick as the camera battery wasn't liking the cold. I love the feeling this shot gives off. I hope you all do to.

Not much in the way of major post processing, which I am very proud of, just playing mostly with brightness/contrast and hue/saturation levels.

Very nice shot. The lighting and shadows give it a very nice mood and feel. Looks like the wide-angle made a slight fish-eye effect apparent in the vertical objects, but it works well here.... 7

Do people really have silos attached to their homes? I've never lived on a farm so I wouldn't know!

Beautiful skies and lighting!
