Gate and Barn

A shot from earlier this year that I had never processed.

I have converted this to square format, and added a grad filter to the sky in SFX Pro.

[Annie D]

like this but other has way more atmosphere and depth :) IMHO

[Pat Knowles]

A beautiful lonely barn, beautifully composed shot Sean..great textures of stone & beautiful light.

[Eric di Bosco]

I love both barns: the one in the alternate album has certainly a more dramatic feel with the processing of the sky and higher contrast, but I like the perspective/POV in this one which includes the gate...

[Paula W]

I love both, the other is certainly more dramatic but I really like the gate in this one, and the 3d type effect.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Love the depth the gate adds to the image in this one.

[Janelle]

I like the gate in this, and I am always a big fan of the square crop, although rarely think to use it myself.

[Simply Amanda]

Love what the gate adds to this one. Nicely captured, Sean!

[Danny G.]

Excellent shot, love the square format. I did square format in-camera on my last day in NYC, those should show up on my project in early 2014.

[Sean O'Neill]

@soboy5 I look forward to seeing them Danny.

[Cazla]

I prefer the first one but I like how you have used the gate to lead the eye into the frame.

[Judith Johnson]

Terrific shot - it appeals to my need to get away from it all sometimes! Great b&w contrast.

[Andy Roe]

Another lovely black and white - super landscape.

[seasnappi]

great shot and processing!

[Celi]

this is an incredible landscape. i like how the gate leads your eye toward the barn. the clouds look so whispy and light. nicely composed. fav.

[Hubregt Visser]

Great composition.

[joey d.Muli]

Stunning image :)

[Reva]

Ahhh Sean.... all these b&w shots are just divine. I've been AWOL for far too long, so too many to comment on, but, just.... wow.

Is there a reason you're doing so much work in black & white now? I'm sure I missed something. Whatever the reason may be, the results are a real treat!

I hope life is treating you splendidly and that all is wonderful in your world. :)

[Al Bailey]

super capture :)

[Ivan]

Very nice, Sean, but prefer the other one! More drama!

[dh (delena)]

Lovely composition. According to the judge at my local photography club this week "square is the new third".

[David Orman]

Like both of these -- but this one's my favourite composition. The gate really leads us into the photo. Very nice.

[Taffy]

I love the way the gate invites us into the scene.

[Lisa Stein]

This is lovely, too. Very tranquil scene. I especially like the open gate and the way it guides the eye to the barn and beyond.

[Britt Nhi Sarah]

I'm a great fan of square format when it works with the composition. I think this really does. Your lines are so good in this piece. The fence in line with the barn. I also really like the texture of the traditional English stone fence. Where was this? It almost looks like Wales (one of my favourite places)

[Sean O'Neill]

@apogee2012 It is in the Peak District, which is within an hour of where I live.

[Jen Hudson]

Love the gate, it leads you to the scene. Great shot.

[Mick]

Wonderful shot Sean, I once posted a photo of a gate/ field on here and somebody commented that the gate should be open to 'allow you into the field". This illustrates why perfectly.
