Color, tweaked color, or black and white?

The golden hour does some cool things with the lighting around here. This barn is on the road by my house. It is nice and shiny, I guess from aluminum paint on the corrugated steel? Anyways, I did three treatments of it in Lightroom. The color one is pretty much straight out of the camera. I love the reflection of the golden light on the bottom right. I tweaked the color a little in the second version. It’s not crazy, but I like it too. And I love the shapes in the B&W version. So… vote in the comments for which you like best. None of them is an option too!

  1. Hey David, they are all very cool – that is such a strange and overwhelming structure, it is almost surreal. I think you need to be the final judge on this one.

    I hope you don’t mind, but I ‘interpreted’ the black and white version. Might be a bit ‘over the top’ but I find it interesting too. You can see it here:
