Dead End, a photo from Washington, West

Photographer's Note

One of my favorite subjects is old buildings (barns,shacks & sheds). I found this dwelling by accident following a record rainstorm in Washington state- I went looking for flood scenes.

I took a wrong turn and came to the end of the road and was presented with this photo op. The original is in color, of course, but decided to convert it to B/W and leave the sign in brilliant yellow.

One of my favorite pics, and a screensaver for several of my friends.

"hiding" in the bushes. terrific idea with desaturating everything but the bright yellow sign. well seen & captured, thor.

JUST GREAT:)
Excellent.B&W is really nice. And this yellow...Great.
But in my opinion this picture maybe a lttle darker and more sharpness

I love it .... i love old barns also, but somehow never had enough courage to finally start taking pictures of them

Great picture. Can I have permission to use this picture as a background for a slide in a powerpoint presentation? My wife is teaching a Bible class for teenage girls called "Dead End." I will put your name on the slide to give credit.
