Unusual color scheme in this photo is appealing. Subdued colors meld well in this presentation. The relatively blank sky provides contrast for the texture in the rest of the photos.

I like the way the rusted tin roof matches the color of the winter grasses.

The wind blown grasses hint at the forces of nature these structures had to endure. I really like the galloping horse detail on the barn. For this presentation the blue/gray sky works well. Nice work Lon.

nice one, Lon. The overall muted colors and featureless sky work well together, and give a pleasantly soft feeling to the image.

Lon: "Bleak" came immediately to mind. I can imagine the winds that bent those roof panels and swept across the plains. Nicely done.>=))>

Certainly fits the theme well Lon. Excellent detail/DOF, contrast, and exposure..
That gray sky adds to the overall theme as well :toast:
