Ratten Clough Farm, Brinscall, Chorley

Should I crop out the right side sheep?

I would crop all round, the picture is really about the Shed and there is nothing in the sky thats adds intrest.

That tighter crop works better.

Agreed the cropped version looks better. My first idea was to try and show the remoteness of the farm ( not shed ! ) but obviously did not work as planned.

Nope sorry Jeff its a shed, a farm is a living breathing full of life thing - thats a derelict shed

So sorry to disagree.

Farmhouses do not live and breath. 

It is a derelict farmhouse and outbuildings. 

A shed is a roofed  shelter used as a store or workshop.

Ratten farm does not have a roof and is not used for anything. The roof would have been removed when the farmer's lease expired and human occupation ended. So no, not a shed.

i guess we will have to agree to differ

The tighter crop improves the shot but it is not one that works for me either way.    I think it looks a little dull, maybe a little underexposed? Has the image been tone mapped using HDR software?
