Old Country Barn

by Cheri Ingram
(Peachtree City GA)

This is a picture of an old barn and I really thought the yellow flowers looked real pretty in front of the barn.

I first took the picture just standing straight in front of the barn with the flowers on the ground. It looked good, but then I got down on the ground and shot the picture looking up at the flowers with the barn in the background.

I think the flowers were more effective looking at it this way.

Any suggestions?

To be honest, I don’t really have many suggestions to offer here.

There’s an interesting angle (much better I suspect than the head-on shot), the flowers are colourful and really add to the scene, and the bright blue sky adds a nice touch.

I can almost imagine lying in that meadow on a warm summers’ afternoon relaxing. And if a photo can invoke a feeling of warmth like that then there must be something good about it.

So I say well done!
