Greetings from the Critique Club and welcome to DPC!

First impression: I like the tall grass on the foreground but the image does not have anything that captures my attention for a long time.

Composition: Your composition is too central for me, I would have liked to see it with less sky, which would put more emphasis on the grasses.

Technicals: Your focus seems a bit off -- nothing seems in focus. I would suggest getting off the landscape mode and try your hand at actually taking control over your photo -- aperture of 2.97 does not really work for a landscape shot, try F 8 and higher next time.

Final Thoughts: While your photo has potential, there is nothing there that grabs attention for a long time and the technicals are off. There are good tutorials on this site about how to improve the technicals and the processing skills as well as multitude of forum threads which can be very helpful.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Anna

The composition is good, I think a better time of day could have greatly benefitted the lighting for this shot

I like the tall grasses in the foreground. Would like to see better focus on the barn.
