Bessie's Barn has Seen Better Days

I always love a good barn shot and the original of this one could have stayed as it was. But a good barn shot always needs cows, don't you think?

I did not take the base shot (the barn) for this composite, but I did take the photo of the cows. Our photo club is currently hosting a WWYD challenge in conjunction with a local gallery. 12 black and white photos were selected to be used as the base photos for the wwyd foolery. The winning entries will be printed and put on display in the gallery for the remainder of May.

Here's what I started with:

Excellent! I love the addition of the textures and the even more vintage feel of the subject you did a seamless job of adding those cows in the foreground which completes this image and makes it a FAV

[Bri]

Instant fav, love the retro feel you've given to this,

Thank you Katy, Bri and Ferry! It must have taken at least 10 different vintage applications before I found one that cohesively brought these two pictures together! Thanks for appreciating that!

I am amazed at this edit! It has a wonderful vintage feeling to it, and it's a more complete scene than the barn itself (though it's a neat old barn.)

Wonderful editing and I love the addition of the cows

[Kathy]

Barns have a way of getting old looking, just like the rest of us I guess.
