December Challenge - Monochrome

We had a cold rainy day this weekend which brought out some good fog. So I went out shooting barns and farmland, and I think the lonely tree in particular drew me to this composition. I was able to frame some leading lines in the tractor mud and grasses up to the barn as well

I agree with Jennifer. That bold tree adds weight and balance to the right side of the frame, while the lighter tractor mud leads the eye on a merry path past the barn and through the image to the trees on the horizon.

Great job, Steven! I like the quiet, sombre atmosphere you've evoked here. Love that tree!

Interesting that you get such a good composition, as Jenny & Alan point out, despite breaking one of those "cardinal rules" by putting the horizon centrally (but if it's good enough for Hiroshi Sugimoto...).

Yeah in final cropping I found it had a very different feel with different amounts of sky or foreground. This one seemed to have more impact
