Eastern Illinois Barn: Sharply edged buildings look quite dramatic against soft cloudy skies, contrasting foliage or misty water.
       The interesting textures and various shapes and sizes of the wooden boards are the subject of this photo. However,  some
Variation might make it even more dramatic. With the very bright sunlight, there is often a "bounce" light that hits the ground in front of buildings, and is reflected back up onto the lower boards.  The refected light will be stronger near the barn bottom and gradually darken and weaken as it merges with the true colors of the wood.       
        It's not necessary to copy every line and crack__ leave something to the viewer's imagination.
        Set the scene's message by adding out-buildings, farm machinery, animals, barrels, pails, haystacks  or people to scale if desired.  
                               Above all, KEEP IT SIMPLE__ THE BARN is the subject here.
