Barn at Pierce Ranch

I believe the composition would be better if you turn the picture horizontally. What do you think?

I think the angle is nice...

Cris, To be honest, I would have never thought to take this in a million years (plus/minus) but it comes across to me as very very strong. Terrific graphic design elements. perfect exposure. Congratulations!!

A tad darker with a hair more contrast, imo.

Nice shot. Sometimes, however, diagonals can be a lot stronger if they enter or leave the frame through one of the corners.

Fantastic perspective - great approach to a much-photographed form. Did you climb a grain silo?

Great perspective.

This photograph, and the others I have posted on Photo.net, are taken from kite-lofted cameras. A kite, unseen in the image, supports a small, radio-controlled cradle that holds a Canon SLR. I can position the camera by walking around and/or letting out or retrieving kiteline. I aim the camera and fire its shuttler using the radio while I stay at the ground end of the kiteline. The camera can rotate through the compass, tilt from horizon to nadir, and change from portrait to landscape format.

As a matter of (questionable) pride all of the images are presented full frame. I compose my images by watching the camera and imagining what it would see. The whole process entertains me to no end.

I like the earthy colors and the sharp angles. The flashing (?) from the upper right corner of the image distracts my eye, though.

Very well done! Great angle and lighting. So nice to see a unique perspective on a subject so over photographed. Just great!

Beautiful angle, I would love to see this picture in B&W. I am partial to B&W film, but this is still a great picture. Angles like this are what I dream of getting in architectual phtography, but haven't learned how to fly until now.
