Hiya Craig
OK, I've gotta know what you did to this image to give it this feeling. It's almost like it was taken with a tilt-shift lens (which I always think makes an image look like an image of a scaled down model), but the EXIF data indicates otherwise…
It's very patriotic for Independence Day, and is a very pleasant and inviting image, kinda makes you want to be there, with those great colors and freshly mowed grass.
A few things for your consideration, it feels a few degrees rotated to the counterclockwise, and your clouds and the trim along the top of the structure are blending a bit.
Thanks

Craig,
I really like the idea here. You've got a weathered barn and a weathered truck. This says so much about vanishing rural America. Here's the dilema for me. You have the truck perfetly positions with a bit of the barn extending on either side of the ruck. That's careful composition technique. Bravo! But then the barn beomes one-dimensional. I'd ike to see the barn extend beyond the fron wall that you are showing us. Ok, but then that can mess up your use of the truck. Nothing's easy!! Posted: 07/18/2025 21:02:10

Craig,
I really like this image and it just pops. Love the weathered paint and flag. It really speaks to you. The truck just increases the interest. The grass it is on is so perfect it almost looks like artifical truff. Well done. Posted: 07/27/2025 04:28:20

I too like this image. I would suggest cropping in a bit from the right to remove some distractions in the background.
This is a scene that I missed when I was in the Palouse a couple years ago. Thanks for sharing! Posted: 07/27/2025 18:21:10

Hi Craig. Great photo. A great combo for me: old truck, old barn and the flag. Posted: 07/29/2025 00:45:40
