A picturesque little farm field and sheds off Highway 11, heading west from Red Deer

My first thought was to enrich the beautiful grasslands and grain and sky colours...

The colours and image were really beautiful.

...but the colours detracted from the focus of my photo...

...the numerous, deteriorating and weathered farm buildings with their distinct hard edge forms

...contrasting against the soft edged cut fields in the foreground and the texture of the fields in the background!!!


Hence the choice for Black & White treatment!
