Great sky! I'm undecided about the comp. I feel like the barn is facing out of the frame, but having never been there, perhaps there is a distraction on that side that needed to be cropped or framed out of the shot. I can imagine a little more tonal separation between the grass amd fence/barn..more true darks in general perhaps? Still this is a lovely scene. Looking forward to hearing advice from others on it too.

I guess everyone and their mother has taken a photo of this barn.
True, Eva, so kudos to you for getting one of the best images I've seen from here! Love the conversion, dramatic sky, and graphic feel. Really stands out. I have no suggestions. Looks great to me as is.

Beautiful sky, and I like the B&W treatment. Not so sure about the tight comp , and the barn seems slightly off-level - perhaps only visually, since the fence lines are not parallel.
I think this perspective might work better if the barn was not tight in the frame. There is lots of room in this spot to back off quite a bit.

Eva: I guess that I'm the only one who has not shot this barn  . My only suggestion would be to increase the contrast a bit by setting a black point. Fine otherwise. Richard

I like your composition, Eva. I think it balances nicely. You might experiment with increasing the mid-tones contrast and perhaps deepening the blacks just a bit. If possible, you might try bringing down the high values in the sky. The tones in shadowed face of the barn look quite nice.

Eva, ditto on Preston's response, I'd like to see a little more contrast in the barn and a touch darker, well done.
