Beaty Cove Barn

Love the light and the composition, William. Congrats!

You might try cropping this a bit.  Maybe a half inch or more off the top and as much as just about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above the barn.... cutting out all of the sky.   It really make is POP then.  The line of the fence, the slope of the hill add a triangular shape complimentary to the triangle created by the roofs in the barn. It also brings out the flag on the barn, without all the distracting lines of the trees leading to the blah sky. That sky does not add anything important to the image but feel the barn on the center line reduces the impact. 

Just because there are standard frames, we do not have to stick to them.  One main reason for Mats, is to allow any shape image, to fit into the standard size frames.  This allows for any cropping which improves the image.
