Wallowas with Farm

This is one of my favorite barns in Wallowa County, nestled at the base of the lateral moraine that forms Wallowa Lake with the peaks of Eagle Cap Wilderness in the background. I took a winter shot of this barn http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/bbs.cgi?a=vm&mr=72791&CGISESSID=b81780180a73882fd3c508874c93a4b2&u=24499.

Suggestions welcome:

Marylynne, I like this a lot. I think the clouds make a very interesting sky to contrast with the field in the foreground. I'd consider lightening up the foreground, up to and including the barn, but the sky is perfect. I also like how the foreground leads you into the scene. Sprinklers are a nice touch too!

Great texture in the field. You might try lightening up the area around the barns just a bit, to help them stand out.

Thanks everyone. I'll try to post a brighter variation soon.

Let me know if I went far enough with processing. I'll take another stab it if you think I should. I always tend to underprocess...not sure why. I guess my initial efforts always look so much better than the Raw image that I think I'm done ;-). This is much better, but I can go further if necessary.

Marylynne, What a wonderful scene this is. The repost looks really nice! I can see why this barn in this setting would be one of your favorites :smile:
