Shane, you found a good subject for this challenge. Old barns very often have quite interesting textures, be it rusty iron elements or, as in your picture, wood which is disintegrating as the teeth of time gnaw on it. With this window, you found a dynamic element for your picture, which suggests that nothing is ever stable and that things keep changing no matter what. I feel though that you might have emphasized this concept with a slightly different composition. First, the centred composition suggests stability and thus counteracts the oblique lines of the window. You might have tried to out the window to either side instead of centering it. Another thing I'd like to see is a tilted image - tilted in such a way that the now oblique lines become perfect verticals, so that the horizontal lines then seem crooked. It would have given the whole barn a much less secure and stable look. |
