The horizon is tilted but that's not so much an issue at this pov and perspective. However, I do see a big problem with contrast in the foreground grass. A quick curves or contrast adjustment in post could fix that, then you'd have a more interesting lead in.

Beautiful colors and processing here. Doesn't look terribly abandoned though.

Nice colors. The use of the tall grass is nice. It just seems like it should be a little brighter on the house.

I get a very relaxed vibe from this pic. It's not particularly interesting, but it is technically sound and fits the challenge. I like the colors.
