Hi Stephen,
Who said that a common old building can't be picturesque? This is a good example of simple think being great. Well seen.

Hi Stephen. The photo pleases me very well indeed. It is almost an idyllic image. The so-called Alba roses fit well with the overall scene. Very nice. Regards, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Stephen

Cadrage classique mais efficace. Cette cabane toute fleurie est typique des décors francais. Les détails sont biens et la lumičre trčs belle.

Amicalement

Hi Stephen!
Comparing with the north american barns, it's pretty different! A lot more similar to our barns here in South America (similar to portuguese and spanish ones)!
Sharpness, exposure, pov, colors, pp, contrasts horizontal format and composition are all very good here!
TFS - congratulations!
Have a very good week!

Bonjour Stephen,
J'ai regardé chacune des photos d'Aquitaine et de Poitou-Charentes publiées en mon absence. Comme toujours, ce sont de belles découvertes habilement et artistiquement photographiées. Cette grange et ses roses trémičres ont tout le charme du Poitou-Charentes. Bravo.
Bonne soirée
Cordialement
Joël

Hi Stephen,
Lovely capture of this classical old stone barn with one side getting a more finished look.
Love the old wooden door and lovely flowers in this very charming scene.
