The grass has excellent color and I like the curve of the slope. The building adds a nice off-centered subject. The sky is the exact shade of blue I don't like. The foreground brownish color isn't interesting enough to take up 1/3rd of the picture. I would have walked closer or recomposed for less brown, more green, and used a polarizer for the sky. I guess all that is hard to do at 70MPH. A 5.0 is probably a nice score for a snapshot on this site. (I don't use snapshot here derogitorily, but rather that you literally took no time to set up the picture.)
Image lacked smoothness. You may have oversharpened, which made the foreground look very digitized. The sky was interesting, and the contrast of the green against the treeline was very nice. Maybe a bit more cropping of the foreground would have enhanced the image.
I like your composition. To me, the foreground seems a bit too saturated compared to the dull softness of the background hills. I do like the play of sunlight on the rolling green hillside.
