This is a lovely overall shot but the colors seem a bit dull ovearll at the same time. A bit more contrast and little less brightness would really make this shot jump out at me. I like the crop and the overall feel, started at a 5, moving to a 7
I really wish that this shot was taken during a different time of day (when the lighting wasn't so harsh) because it looks like a beautiful scene! The only thing I would change would be the lighting...

I am trying to determine here what your main subject is. The main focal point are the trees at the front and the grass in the foreground. Your title is Home Sweet Home, and seeing the building is a barn and not a house I am guessing you are refering to Home Sweet Home being the country life you live in. I would have gone down lower and maybe stood a little to the left to get more of the barn into your image. The tree branch hanging down is blocking out the top part of the barn, I want to see more of the barn. The grass in the sunlight and the roof of the barn is overexposed, maybe by metering off a brighter area or taking your exposure one stop down this might have been avoided.
The tree is a good element to use to frame this barn, but you've hidden it behind the tree too much - looks like there could have been a strong composition about 3 steps to the left and pointing back towards the barn.
The light is extremely harsh too - looking to be almost mid-day - this is about the worst time you could be trying to take a shot like this
Interesting subject but the shot seems a bit overexposed, might want to wait till the sun isn't directly beyond the subjects in the composition. also, th ebright sun washed out the colors- I would like to see this shot in the dawn or dusk.
The dappled light is nice. The reaching limbs of the trees are graceful. The background is too bright. It would be ok to have the tree more silouetted and have the rest of the picture better exposed.
