The goal that photographers aim for in most images is to lead the viewer's eye to a single point of interest. Some scenes, however, cry out for something else.

In composing this image, I was torn between the frosted window panes and the frosted, weathered roof overhead. Each on their own was a weaker image, but together tells the story of this old barn near Ellison Bay, Wisconsin.

Rendered in black and white, the image features all of the textures and tones of this wonderful winter scene.
