As Night Falls

I am not fond of this composition. I wanted to get the old barn with the sunset but I find there is too much in this shot. I keep wondering what the main subject is. Is it the barn? the tree silhouette? or is it the sunset?
Grrr .... sometimes it is impossible to capture what you see in your mind's eye!
But then - the trials and errors are what makes photography so much fun!

@farmreporter I think it’s a wonderful composition. you did a magnificent job with the rule of thirds,the light is terrific and the silhouettes exactly as they should be.

Love this - a must fav - the mostly dark tones showcase the sunset for me.

I think the star is the sky!!!

While I can imagine it would look incredible without the trees there, I don't find this cluttered. I like the interplay between the dark barn with the yawning gaps, the silhouetted trees, and that gorgeous sky.

I like the image but the tree catches my eye because of the light behind it

I really like this photo and the various elements in it. Sometimes comp guidelines do work, but your instinct did.

I think the visual weight is definitely with the barn; the light of the sunset is far enough behind it. Nice 3-D quality. No wonder it made the PP.

The tree with those beautiful colours behind it was the first thing that caught my eye.
Well done Wendy! X Jacqueline
