Run Down And Covered

[Panterawhiskey]

Hey guys. This is my first time posting to the critique section and just figured it was time to start a new way of learning. I took this image with a Nikon D60 and a Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm lens. Basically the kit lens. This picture is straight from the camera and has had no post processing done to it other than resizing it in Photoshop CS3, which I hope was done for optimal results when posting the picture here. So the big things I would like to have critiqued are the following:

Camera Settings - Are they being used correctly? Anything you would change?
Composition - I tried different angles this was the most interesting IMO. Does it look right?
Feeling - Does this picture give any type of feeling when you look at it?
Photoshop - What do you think would be the best route to go with Post Processing?

1/200 shutter speed
f7.1 aperature
32mm focal Length
100 iso
Auto White Balance

Thank you guys so much in advance, I absolutely LOVE DPS!!!

It gives me a feeling of times gone by.
Camera settings seem fine to me.
As far as the composition, I would maybe backup a bit and try to get the front peek of the roof in the frame. Also If you can back up enough to zoom that lens out to 55mm it may help as well. The vertical boards on the front of the shed want to be straight up and down and they look like they are leaning to the right but that is an easy fix with a straighten tool.
As far as PP in CS3 I am not totally sure as I mainly use Capture NX and PS Elements but typically I find slight adjustments to brightness, contrast, colors and some sharpening give my pictures that extra boost.
I would also look at playing around with a B&W conversion on this.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Thanks Mike! Yes I could back up and try to get the peak of it in there. I didnt notice it for whatever reason after I took the shot, until I looked at it on my monitor. Yes I would definitely play with the B&W and some other things. I was trying to see if anyone else had some ideas about post processing this picture. Again thanks so much for the tips on the composition. Greatly appreciated!
