POST CHALLENGE ----
Thanks for all the comments and votes. This is my highest rated image to date. I have driven past this little farm a few times and finally stopped to take a picture early one morning. I know the barn roof looks over saturated, but with the way the sun was hitting it early in the morning, this is pretty close to the way it actually looked.
Once again, thanks for all the comments and votes.

I like the image. It has nice color, and the lighting is very good. I'd love to see more light on the road, but sometimes that just isnt possible.
I might even crop the top part of the photograph off, and make it more panoramic. I believe it would give a stronger feel to the image, even softening it up a bit, giving that dreamy feel to it.
man alive, I bet this place is simply stunning when those leaves change. very nicely done...almost makes me want to move to Tennessee, if only I could afford such a spread :)
Lovely landscape, though if it were mine I'd crop a big hunk of the foreground out to the level of the fence on the left, to de-emphasize the asphalt and the grassy right side, pulling more attention to your center of interest, the barn with its picturesque lighting.
This has a slight soft focus on the composition as a whole which gives it a soft, dreamy and surreal feel & mood. Love how you included the curved country road in this composition. For as I view it, I get the feel of traveling down the country road and discovering this lovely view of this lovely red barn surrounded by the wonderful greens of the countryside.
