While midday photography is not one of my favorites, when you see something interesting it can’t be ignored. This image, captured during a mid-afternoon drive through Virginia’s backroads, showcases an old barn/house that caught my eye. Despite my usual preference for better light, the old structure needed to be captured when I saw it. Unfortunately, this angle was the only viewpoint available at the time. In LR, I made basic adjustments and fine-tuned the tone curve. Since the sky was clear in the original image, in PS, I added some wispy clouds for interest, a few birds from another frame, and a stroke to create a visual boundary. I’m open to suggestions for further improvements.
