Captured it! Love the very low horizon. I might try burning in the clouds a little, but that's your call.

Nice creamy sky and lightly printed....nice.

beautiful image. I love low horizons.

The low horizon is great and I like how the plowed field rows take me right up to the barn. But I agree with bsdnek to darken the sky a tad, because even though the plowed rows take my eye to the barn the pale sky takes right off the frame.

The composition is nice and sober, one of those that leave you wondering if there could ever be another way of framing the same subject. It works very well in isolating the buildings, and at the same time opening the edges towards the grassy plain.
What I don't like (although judging from a monitor, yet calibrated) is the overall contrast. The local contrast in the sky is very low, although I (and the other guys here, as well, it seems) believe that a higher one would greatly add to the image. Burning wouldn't help a lot to me, because the highlights are already muddy, and I'm afraid this muddiness cognitively extends to the rest of the print area, thus making this an unpleasant print, in my opinion.
Definitely worth another try.

I don't think photographing prints and looking at them on these glowing LCD's do anyone justice.

I have sold dozens of this image- one enlargement at 30x30"
It's a winner, open to interpretation.

Thanks for the input.

This image really evokes in me the feelings I get from being in high flat places here in western PA (there's not many!). That perception of a wide limitless sky and no horizon in some directions. I believe the view through the barn plays a significant roll in that regard. Lovely, I'll bet the print really sings.

Nice. The view through the barn makes it. I like the sliver of Hasselblad negative edge, elegant graphical frame. And I like the slight off-kilteredness of the frame in relation to the straight horizon, if that's indeed what it is.

nice image, iconic; eye of the beholder
