In North Carolina barns such as these are as part on the landscape and any tree or stone. Indeed, the things are so old at times they seem to have grown there. I would keep the bottom of the fence. So consider that if people are teeling you to crop it out. I kind of like it. (7)
Killing contrast might work better if the roof would be distinguishable from the woods. If this wasn't shot on film, try to find contrast from different channels (I guess green would display some difference on roof and woods). Otherwise I like the contrast, as the detail is still present. Composition is a bit odd on bottom, and there's feeling the image is not straight even though it might be.
I'd like to see more of the fence at the bottom or you could get lower to the ground and leave the fence out all together. The old barn makes a nice rural subject.
This si somewhat of a plain picture. If more of the fence was seen, It would look like a deep DOF picture. Maybe if there was more to see closer, it would give the viewer more to look at
Nice composition and lighting levels. There's a perception of incorect clockwise rotation. (The vertical corners of the main building ought to be straight up and down I think.) But for that, an 8. Well done.
maybe it's just me, but the fence at the bottom of the photo distracts from an otherwise great composition. I think if it were cropped out it would have a more fluid feel
