Found this old barn, captured at f/11, using tripod - for max. sharpness. Sun was in the perfect location behind me. Sky was brilliant blue, but in color it did not capture the tone I saw. Removed some physical trash from around the image I could not shoot out of the way of or crop out of the image. Adjusted color in channel mixer to monochrome, then selectively added color back into the image to match the rusty theme of roof as a sepia toned image. Adjusted levels, USM and sized for challenge. Second attempt at using layers...

Compositionally, this is a strong, stable shot. It is a bit centered, which normally doesn't help, but in this case I think it documents the architecture of the building well. It has just enough of the background to give some context, but not so much as to clutter it up or be distracting.

Technically, your focus is very good. Also, your exposure shows a lot of the details, but I think that may be what makes the shot look a bit "flat." My very first impression of this shot was "Nice shot, but doesn't have a lot of depth). There are no definitive "blacks" in the shot, or none that really define the textures of the building. I think a bit more contrast would help, even if it meant burying some of the details in shadows.

The sepia is a nice touch. It helps to further communicate the age of the building.

If I need to further elaborate, or explain, please PM.

The composition and clarity are excellent. The tonality of this causes it to lose something for me.

I think this could use more contrast.
