Who doesn't love a barn? This one was a drive-by somewhere in Virginia, between Emporia and Suffolk. My photography club has initiated a photo challenge this year - one photo each month, following specific guidelines, submitted for voting on by other members. This month's challenge is black and white. I have never done much of that (unless you count the years I shot with a Brownie!), so I have spent the last few days experimenting with black and white. I tried this barn in black and white, but decided to use a sepia effect instead...just because I liked it!
Here is the original - not nearly so interesting!

it´s nice how the colors change the pic :)
poor thing looks like it's about to cave in in the center...nicely done!
It does look a bit dilapidated Linda, but I think it adds to it's charm. The sepia image has a nice vintage feel to it, which suits the condition of the barn.
Nice effect...the sepia really adds to the charm!
I like how the shadows fall across the roof of this old charmer!
Actually, I rather LIKE the original!
I too grew up using a b & w brownie.
I think sepia is a wonderful choice for the barn. It's an interesting structure ...shape...and the "wavy" sagging roof.
Sepia version is perfect for this photo.
Regards and best wishes
I agree that sepia gives it a certain air...I've always thought it makes a photo look "old" in a good way! Interesting barn with character....
