My oh my - what a classic! The placement of the barn is perfect - without it the dead centered mountain would be problematic. The soft colors are remarkable as is the sky's pallette. The ONLY thing I would do with this is remove the border.
You should be in the close vicinity to a town called "Ribbonsville."
Awesome, inspiring shot. I really like the drama of the sky against the serenity of the scene. The overall color scheme just works together so well without being boring. One of my favorites.
Very pretty landscape. I like the layers of foreground grass, background grass, and mountain, and of course the sky is very dramatic. The colors seem a little odd, although I'm not sure I can explain why it feels like that. The composition is a good classic.
