Schoolhouse, Flint Hills in Kansas

This is an image taken in 2008. While the original did well in galleries i was not happy with the composition. I reversed it and cropped it and now I'm happy...i think.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

An evocative image., the lonely, windswept surroundings and the old, battered schoolhouse.
I can almost hear the faint chattering voices of the long-ago children.
Your ‘tweaking’ , cropping and reversing the lead-in has certainly paid off, Neil.
One which will stay in the memory.

This is the prize winner! Very interesting what you did...while the previous photo was very nice, this one is just magnificent. All the elements come together and work perfectly. I am also in agreement with the comment about being reminded of Andrew Wyeth's famous work. Impressive work Neil! V

It is a good shot thats why I stopped to look and comment.

The areas that pull my eye are the line of the fence from the bottom left and the line of the clouds top left. these combined with the horizon point to the tree and the red flowers ?
The building is on the thirds and the fence post points to the building.
Yes its good.
