Hi Larry,
Wonderful B&W. It actually makes me think that I would really some day want to leave the city and live in a quiet farm with many animals.
Regards,
Penny

Hi Larry,
that´s a beautiful light, given it´s inside a barn. And the BW honours the old things in it, the bicycle is a piece of art in itself, and the shovel looks like the prototype of all shovels ever made.
Regards,
Johannes

Hi Larry,

I like BW conversion. Your POV is great and this photo seems as one of the photography classics.

congratulations,

Hello Larry,

You use a black and white picture for the old barn and certainly the old bike, not this type where I got an accident!
Also the shovel against the wood wall suit excellent to this image.
Your neigbour care for a nice series.
Very well done, TFS.

Warmest regards,
John.

Hi Larry,

B&W, perfect for this title, although the original movie was in colour, but i like the b&w intro with dorothy on her bike and Toto in the basket.
The bicycle and the woodwork really shines and makes the image even more interesting. A real good one, i like this one a lot...very good work in wonderful b&w.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Larry,

An excellent B&W with beautiful contrast and god use of square format.
A composition very simple but very efficience and very well balalnced. Good POV in diagonal too. A very good photowork.
Best regards,
Roger

Dyerco (8816) 2009-04-28 3:56

Hi Larry
The B&W presentation works well here as the eye is drawn to the bike and shovel. They pose well together in that one is vertical and balances out the one that is horizontal.

Nice one Larry, this one is the best so far I think. I love the crispness of it all and the B&W works very well. Great capture.

Greg

Larry,
I thinkg this might be one of your best image yet, Classic composition of a very down to earth, rustic charm of a barne, the black and what is perfect, good sharoness, good clarity and good light for an indoor shot. Well done. I love it.
Way

ChrisJ (69368) 2009-04-28 17:23

Hi Larry

A well composed b&w shot of the bike in the barn, with a superb tonal range, & good sharpness & diffused lighting. Congratulations!

gunbud (27467) 2009-04-28 18:57

Hi Larry,
Looks like this is how Dorothy got dwon the yellow brick road.
The old bike must have once made a some girl happy but now seems long forgotten.
The B&W format was perfect for the old time feel of this image.
Regards, Tom

zeynepe (9328) 2009-04-29 6:05

Hi Larry,
The old bicycle and the old woodwork with B&W colors make the composition splendid.
Thanks for sharing this great shot with us.
Have a nice day,
Zeynep

Hi Larry,
Beautiful B&W shot where inside of the farm has nice smooth light. The bike and shovel look like they haven't been touched for decades. Good still life composition.

Hello Larry,
beautiful B&W composition. Great POV with a lovely position of shovel and bike. Nice light and good framing. This picture was taken one week ago, but I have the feeling that you could have also done it years ago. Good artistic style. I like it.
Best wishes,
Helmut

pablominto (39832) 2009-05-01 9:53

Hello Larry,

This is an interesting capture, something in between documentary and still life!
Black and white presentation fits the scene well, as I doubt colour photographs were common when that bike was new hehehe...
A well framed presentation with fine details, good contrast!

Greetings,
Pablo -

asajernigan (13857) 2009-05-14 5:28

Larry,
Excellent choice to use B&W here. Normally I am not a big fan of B&W but here it is very appropriate. Your composition is fine with the inclusion of the shovel on the wall which provides balance for the bike. Your lighting is nice with good sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

jusninasirun (9980) 2009-06-13 6:09

Hi Larry,

I like this vintage shot with pleasing gray tones and saturation. The bike is in so much details and the framing is very good.

TFS and best regards,
