Sunset Barn

Description

Finalist
I took this on a mid-June evening in Sarpy County, Nebraska. I went out hoping for a beautiful sky and looking for something interesting to put in front of it for a BP club challenge; this was not quite what I had in mind, but it's what I found.

I think you found something pretty nice here, Nikki. The sky sure is pretty and the classic old barn is too, and your perspective is just lovely. The upward climb to the barn is appealing, and I know how hard it is in Nebraska sometimes to find anything that isn't thoroughly flat. #8771387

Jean E. Hildebrant July 18, 2010

This has the wow factor for me, Nikki! Beautifully composed. The sky is lovely and the barn is great. Everything together makes for a very pleasing imiage. I would like to paint this :)
Of course I might just have to add my daughter walking up to the barn, lol! #8771389
