Red Barn

Description

I snapped this picture along US Highway 2, near Towner, North Dakota on February 27, 2006. The sky was gloomy and overcast, making the picture rather flat, so I decided to apply some PS filters (diffuse glow, canvas texture, and rough pastel) to give it a painted look. Hope you enjoy!

Ronald, very artistic looking and I really like the contrasts of the bleak weather with the red barn, kind of like a bright spot on a gloomy day; the composition really adds a feeling of vastness, too; well done! #2495738
