*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An appropriate choice of subject for selective desat which obviously meets the challenge well.
I think there are a couple of ways in which the image could have been improved, the main one being the composition itself, the main thing is its just too central. It would have been better to have placed it on one of the thirds, most probably the left third.
Also it is too dominant, if you had shot the barn from further away you could have included more of the landscape and placed it on one of the left hotspots, dependant on whether you were to emphasise the sky or the landscape. Because of the nature of the challenge anything that is desaturated will stand out and therefore become more dominant, this is already the main feature of the image before desat and now overpowers what is left of the landscape to its detriment. You have some lovely greens and blues these ought to have been given a lot more emphasis through your composition.
There does seem to be some inaccuracy with your desat in that there appear to be traces of the original colours in the wood at the bottom left wall and also at the top on the edges of the roof. There is also evidence of sensor dust in the sky.
Happy shooting Sid |
