[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This structure is situated by the roadside as I drive through a forest landscape in Central Norway. Obviously it has been a long time since this building was used as a barn, even the fields surrounding the barn are now in the process of being taken over by birch and other trees.

The present image was taken the first time I noticed this barn, since then I have photographed it in different seasons as I have passed by…

There is no farm to be seen nearby this place, and like most barns located in distant places it was never painted as opposed to other barns in the area that are all red!

Hello Pablo,

I like vertical wood lines and their texture, creating a huge background. Red painted pallet, old barrel and naked tree branches are very well composed, wonderful.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Pablo,

The rusted barrel and the red pallet are giving a good contrast to the unpainted wall of the barn. The subject is well framed and is showing good vertical lines under a nice blue sky. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pablo,

I like the idea and the red elements in the picture. The texture and contrast on the wood is also quite nice. Just think that maybe a close-up on those elemnts would work even better in terms of composition...

Hello Pablo,

Maybe can this picture help for the carelessness of the farmers, maybe a quiet protest for a better nature.
Nice composition through the vertical lines of the boards, the birch trees care for the soft colour.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,

Hej Pablo,
A very nice photo again for your barn-theme. The red objects stand out nicely against the wooden wall. Also the branches of the trees create a nice effect and the light is fine. Well seen and captured!

Hi Pablo the simplicity and the way you framed it make the photo superb.
A clever idea to include on the right corner a little sky.

peculiar corner of particular beauty. I like specially the game of geometries and the varied textures and contrast of colors.
Excellent the quality of the image and the austere but attractive composition.

Saludos y feliz fín de semana, Jordi

Pablo,

Interesting shot, it is as you describe but to me it also shows some beautiful lumber on the side of the structure. Nice capture.

Hi Pablo,
oh, red again :-) But not the barn or house, only the barrel and the palette. It has a humorous touch and good contrast to the good wooden texture.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Pablo
I like this minimalistic and graphical compo with well saturated colors and good texture rendering. Good framing and placement of the elements with the inclusion of the sky giving a nice touch.

This is an interesting image. The barrel and skid do create a nice contrast of colours against the pale wall of the barn. Good idea to create this minimalist image to present good balance of elements and excellent use of light. Thanks Pablo.

Hello Pablo. Forest barn. The side of a barn, a few shrubs, a red barrel, and a few red boards. I would have passed probably eightless this motive. You recognized however that this simple motive has a large graphic effect. I must say appreciative: it became a small work of art. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Pablo bonjour.
C'est presque minimaliste mais d'une grande beauté. J'aime le rendu du bois de la façade et les deux taches colorées faites par la palette et le tonneau.

Hei Pablo,

A really fine documentation. This was not a long time ago part of a probably prosperous farm. Now nature is taking over and this barn will be out in the forest where there were fields before. Very well seen and a excellent shot.

Hi Pablo,
You've done an excellent job here to make a simple ordinary scene look interesting through good photography. The rustic weathered look created a nice contrast at the same time the trees and fence added line patterns to base your structure. Good inclusion of the sky too for depth and contrast. Well composed!

I like the collection of colors and different textures here, going very well together. The composition with a small corner of the blue sky is very original but effective here.
Well done!

Hi Pablo,
Creative shoot to show a selected corner with included a little blue sky, interesting story about this place, distinct image and attractive color, well done.

I call it simple perfect...
Playing with the colours and the lines and frame it well by the branches. Added the few part of the sky just make it more interesting.

Hi, Pablo. The vertical lines of the wooden planks create a good graphic effect in the image, which is counterbalanced by the red pallet and its horizontal lines and the round barrel. Good contrasts.

Hello Pablo,

Jolie composition, remplie de lignes...

Bonne journée

Bonjour, cher Pablo,

I like this image , it has a kind of trashy clear colour tone that goes well with the comp. it sort of sign "there's was activity here, not that long ago" don't know if you understand what i mean. and the pattern of the wood that are spliit up by the branch of the Birch bush.

Hi Pablo. Nature has a habit of reclaiming back anything left for too long and it is surprising just how quickly this can happen. Good detail shot. The vertical battens on the barn contrast with the horizontal boards on the red pallet base. Nice capture and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

So much visual information and mood in this very sharp picture. Well done.

Hi Pablo,
In this photo you do not show us a splendid landscape as usual, but I love your composition by its simplicity and by the strong graphism of the elements that contains.
The red tones on the color of the old wood, and the blue of the sky, have a nice effect at sight.
Nice work.

Olá Pablo, marvellous graphic image. The pattern of the wooden wall mixed with all the branches make a nice expressive set. The other 2 redish elements and the corner of sky are nice intrusions that contribute well for the artistic result. I really like this one.

Hi Pablo, The really sharp focus has drawn out the texture in the wood &, the natural colours are excellent, I like the tight crop on the barn, the photo is well composed with this slightly unusual subject, kind regards Wilson.

- Amusing but successful minimalist composition, Picasso sold, very expensive, of the scenes less beautiful than that ;o) in any case cheers!
Have a good weekend.

The rough wood seems to survive the different seasons rather well, it looks a bit grey and dry but not decaying. I like the touch of colro of the rusted drum and ofthe pallet beside it.
As a conclusion, a nice still life, but not very lively as they always are...

All the best,
