Swaledale Barns

[ST-EOS]

I was in Wensleydale on Saturday and decided to hop across to Swaledale to visit Wain Wath Force. However having seen the clouds forming whilst I was in Wensleydale, I knew that I would be stopping en route to Wain Wath to capture this image before it lost the light.
This is "probably" the most photograph barn in the dale I'm glad I decided to stop and make this image as when I got to Wain Wath there wasn't enough flow over the falls to even bother getting the camera out of the car.

Nice and bright but I think it has to much yellow tones (warmth or saturation), even slightly noticeble in the clouds
And I think a 3:2 crop just before the 2nd small barn from the left an at the bottom (that is a lot of grass ;-) ) will improve your composition. The barn has the main focus but the hill on the left is also very dominant

How about this version Will, is this the crop you had in mind ?

Re: Swaledale Barns

I like the scene but the barns seem to be just a very minor part of the composition. The balence between sky, mid and foreground is about right but if you were cropping, then just losing no more than a third of the foreground would the limit

1/3 of the foreground and on the left, just before the small bush :-) would be enough :-)

A nice scenic shot. I like the colours as it is.

Re: Swaledale Barns

You know Peter, sometimes the shot you saw in the viewfinder is the image that needs to be seen. By the time you make all the crops and adjustments, it is not the image that you saw. It is that 1st image that tells the story of the barn and the landscape that it is a part of. A well taken image Peter

I'm with Tom on this one. All it needs in my view is a crop up from the bottom to lose a little of the grass. Perhaps it is slightly yellow overall but it's works for me. Nice work Peter

Re: Swaledale Barns

Thanks everyone for taking time to look and comment. Normally when I make images of this scene I have the camera pointing slightly more to the right which excludes the two barns on the left. I also usually have Kisdon (the hill on the left) coming in at the top left corner of the image but this time I wanted to include the cloud formations.
Thanks again for all of your thoughts and comments.
