 The Barn at the Riverdale Farm.

I shot this same angle and location two days before this but the sky was gray and the shot was really dull. I re-shot when I saw that the sky was cloudy but blue.

Shot in raw mode. Adjusted white balance and exposure level.

Post processing: levels, curves, colour adjustments, dodging of the snow and burning of some corners of the barn for shadows, crop, resized, smart sharpen, border.

I also dodged the "The Barn" sign at the top of the door to make it more visible. I saturated the yellow more than any other color to give it a warm look.

I hope I don't get killed by the voters due to the fence blocking the view of the barn. I think it adds more "country" having the fence there. I could have hopped over and took a shot of the barn alone but I decided against it. We'll see.
