JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Old Barn

Spotlight and vfxy - I generally don't pay too much attention to Spotlight or vfxy, but recently I've taken a look. Some of the photographs are extraordinary (such as Mariana's "gray hair" on vfxy's Buzz), but, my goodness, there is a lot of mediocre stuff. How the decisions are made mystifies me. I have appeared on both but I certainly don't think that it has been my best work that has been selected.

Wonderful tones and light and I like the processing on this! I'm not so sure on your comment about your best work in the spotlight photos - I remember the one you took with the branch and I think it had white flowers and/or a touch of red - that was fantastic and it made the spotlight - one of my favorites!

@Scott F. Schilling: Thanks, Scott.
@Didier DE ZAN: Merci. I could easily obsess on old barns.

This is nearly an iconic image. The barn is so well suited to your treatment:
I love the brown monotone and white vignette; it has so much charm and interest !!!

What a mood, Jack, timeless feelings, your image brings me back in times I would love to have travelled through, and your B&W has Ansel Addams tonalities I enjoy a lot* As for spotlights and vfxy, I didn't even subscribe vfxy, I agree with what you say plus i don't like school-like contest but prefer sharing my/our images for nothing else than pleasure here. Thks for the one your image offered to me/us*

Always this incredible feeling, see the past in front of my eyes and this memorable american landscape... The wild. The Huge. Wether in B&W or in Color. Memorable indeed.
