Nice scene Dave. Reminds my of my homeland, without snow!
I would suggest you consider cropping out the crotch of the tree, as the right trunk branch does not significantly apply to the scene. I would also suggest you consider cropping a little from the bottom as well. (See attached one quick crop example)
It appears that the tree is the subject, based on the focus. I would have focused on the barn, or better yet about 1/3 into the scene and used a smaller aperature to get apparent DOF extending through the barn area.
I might also have looked at a slightly lower angle, to provide more separation between the barn and the branches.
Dave, Really nice composition and the red really draws your eye. I prefer the original comp. with the added length-I think it gives a bit more weight at the bottom for that large tree and forces my eye to wander into the scene. Nicely done!!
