Same Only Better
Often a photo is OK but needs just a little help to make it better. Here, the elements of the scene are nice, but overly cluttered. Cropping the picture simplifies the scene as in "less is more". But right at the desired crop line, the out building beside the barn annoyed me. There is a tool in Adobe Photo shop called a clone tool. I was able to 'clone' the grey sky right over the out building and eliminate it. This photo would have been impossible without a bit of technological help. This really frees up the photographer to take photos that normally he would reject. Something can almost always be salvaged.

It's a shame in a way though because now you can never believe a photo to be real or not.
Photography is art. If a painter captured a magnificent sunset over the Grand Canyon, how would you know if it was real or not?
Still....one used to be able to look at a photograph and take it at face value.
Not anymore.
Beats hiring a bull dozer. Do you think you could make our old barn disappear?
