Went out to take pics of the Covered Bridges of Madison County. I took about 200 pics of the bridges and three pics of this barn...barn wins...*sigh*...it always works that way.

I like to pull some cyan out of my skies that look like this, brings them back to blue, I use Hue/Sat to do it, but Selective Color will do it too - try it and see if it works for you. The barn, and weeds are begging for dodge and burn treatments! That would increase the contrast and strengthen this image IMHO. Hope that helps.
The thumb caught my eye, but the direct overhead lighting is a little harsh.
Good cropping and subject. Wait for sunset or get up early and capture this historic barn before it falls down.
Nice angle. Since there isn't alot of interesting color, maybe convert to black and white and this could have some real punch. The angles of the old barn make for alot of interest. I like the natural element with the grasses in the foreground.
This has some great potential. It's a very good composition, but is is missing some of the richness in the shadow areas. (This would also make a great black/white). 6
The color is very flat here. I don't know if that is what you were going for, but I think it either needs to be black and white, sepia, or much richer color to work. The barn is interesting, but might be more interesting with a bit looser crop. It seems a little crowded. The detail in the grass/wheat is nice.
