Hood River classic barn

The weekend before last was beautiful in Hood River. The whole valley was in bloom. Couldn't resist this beautiful barn and orchard.

Nicely composed scene. I think I'd be inclined to move camera position 1 or 2 feet forward so that the left hand side blossoms reveal more foreground detail and try eleminate the branches on the right from creeping into the frame.

Wonderful Capture! Love the white snow and flowers and the bursting red of the barn. It holds my interest and keeps my eye moving.

Absolutely terrific. This composition could become as popular in the West as Jenne Farm is in Vermont, and IMO it's better! Congrats.

I just saw your EP, Larry. Great work and congrats. This would make a superb cover for The Goodfruit Grower, the magazine for tree fruit orchardists in the PNW.
