2012, Day 128 - Isolation

This is another photo taken yesterday on my drive from California to Oregon.  The title today is twofold, one references the remoteness of this farm but the second is in regards to how the image is processed.  I lowered the contrast and lighted much of the landscape while heightening the contrast and lowering the exposure of the barn.  As one of the darkest elements is stands out agains the rest of the image and the strong texture is then able to capture the eye and draw it across all the little details.
