Maple Grove Farm

This barn near Woodstock, VT has probably been photographed hundreds

of times. When I took this picture, I was looking for a slightly

different perspective. So I chose to photograph it through some tall

plants in the foreground. Is this too distracting? Perhaps I should

have positioned myself so that the plants were in the photograph, but

more towards the bottom; giving a clearer picture of the barn.

I think you're on the right track. The plants covering the barn are rather distracting, but if you had gotten up higher to put the plants under the barn, the composition would have been much more pleasing.

I must agree with what's been said. I somehow don't find the setting particularly attractive, something you'd obviously look for in a picture like this. Maybe on a misty morning..
