Well, it didn't come out as vibrant as I had hoped, but this is still one heck of a cool barn. The advertisements on the side have faded, and the barn is decaying, but it is still a nice reminder of the past.

Photoshop was Convert from RAW, black and white (20% opacity), hue/sat boost on the blue channel, curves, selective color to boost blues and greens, resize, usm, save for web.

It really looks better at full size, but we work with what we are given.

What a classic building, and probably not easy to get a good angle. This one tells a lot about it which I like.
