“But there’s a tree, of many, one,
A single field which I have looked upon,
Both of them speak of something that is gone”
Wordsworth. Ode
I must confess that I breifly consider either cropping or photoshoping out the barn from this photo- but in the end I left it untouched, principally because I like photos that have a sense of place; that reveal a little bit more to the viewer about their context, through their imperfection.
I could see why you might want to remove the barn but, to me, I think it adds a little character to the image. Makes me curious as to what’s beyond the horizon! Love the lighting.
Yup, keep the barn it works. Nice and small doesn’t take over the tree or the horizon. Top photo.
Lovely spring mood you captured here. The light is wonderful!
Wonderfulll!!!
Very pretty photo. The lonely tree is Majestic
remove the barn?! that would have been fakery :)! although I can see why, still a nice image ME!
Sometimes breaking rules is a good thing!
Brava Martina,
Ciao!
Wonderful light at the blossom of the tree. And it was a good idea, not to remove the barn. Have a nice weekend.
I like very much this idea of sense of place. I indeed believe that a context is necessary. He can be implicit, but it is also good that it is sometimes explicit. This image is very beautiful, very well-balanced. And I do not see why we should be deprived of the barn.
Beautiful composition.
Well, I love this place.
Beautiful shot! I love the composition!!
This one is really awesome!!!
Wonderful shot ..
such a fantastic composition and a beautiful landscape
This is lovely! Have you baked the scones?! You should make some and take a photo! : )
I agree with you, I like having the barn in the image. It lends a sense of place, like you say, and a sense of depth and scale too. I love your beautiful pastoral image.
Like the composition

Just beautiful clarity, and wonderful colors here!
Wonderfully composed!
My opinion…the barn was a definite keeper. Beautiful area and photo.
I feel like sitting in this field to contemplate the scene. The light is beautiful and hot. Soft colors.
très belle composition.
The barn is just right here, as it does give the image that “sense of place”, as you put it, Martina. Lovely shot.
