I like the soft focus of this image and the pastel color of the wall. I think I'd like to see a little bit more detail in the barn wall and on the snow a little bit of dodging there would help a lot.
This is a nice glimpse of an America that is fading away. There are no longer any family farms here in Florida, and many of the cattle ranches and citrus groves are being overrun by development.
I also like your PP on this one.
Oh no, I'd say you most definitely DO know what you are doing. I think this is VERY cool looking! I just love soft dreamy brush in landscape photos. It gives it such an old "other" world kind of look. Looks like you caught this at just the right time at sunrise.
