I did a retake of this shed (originally called desolation)
I was really interested by the way the rising sun changed the scene. I thought it was very cool. This is a simple image but it is rich with composition. The colours, the curves, the contrast, the lines, the rule of thirds... Hey it's my free study :)
Hope this does well, I really like the shot

This was way underated IMO, the simplicity is so absorbing. For me, the highlights|shadows make the shot, I think clouds would add something this image just doesn't need. Be proud......
Congrates on a superb take. I'm personally find the score low, but there you go. What absolutely makes this image for me is the golden light and shadows raking across the fields - beautiful. The shed gived a nice focal point, but isn't really what the shot is about.
So I ask myself what is there not to like? Not a lot really. Perhaps you've hedged your bets a bit with the sky - either more or less. I think a centimeter crop off the bottom and left would have helped, but thats just my opinion. I disagree with the comment below about this needing clouds; I think that would have detracted from the overall starkness.
