I really (really really) like playing with Photoshop. This barn has great morning light on it to begin with, but I couldn't help but exaggerate the textural quality by giving it a filter called posterize. Posterization converts a continuous gradation of value (lightness or darkness) to several regions of fewer values, with abrupt changes from one value to the next. Hence a "poster-like" effect.
It never hurts to have a reasonably good image to start with, but with special effects you can sometimes make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. As someone who used to raise actual sows, this is just as much fun, and smells considerably better.
