Fine light, very nice composition.

Yes.

[Sunny Alan]

OT, sorry.

Any effective method to clear fog, as in the picture?

[Chris Calohan]

It was a foggy morning and without that fog, this kind of light would be nearly impossible to duplicate.

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

I find it slightly oversaturated and contrasty, especially given the foggy conditions. I also feel the need to see more on the left, to balance the "heavy" building.

For me, saturation is a bit high but I like the foggy conditions and the very nice light.

[Peter McLennan]

Everything Slobodan said.

[Larry Heath]

For my two cents I like the strong saturation in the foreground, the background could be toned down a bit. The upper right corner has something going on that is a bit distracting, luminance noise/color noise/elevated contrast, I don’t know.

What I would have liked, is to be able to see over the foreground elements and be able to see the base of the building. I know that sometimes it’s not doable or is done to hide other elements in the scene. I’ve often put my old Bogen tripod in the bed of my pickup and stood on the cab to get a higher view point on a scene.

Still all in all a very nice shot.

I went back to the original RAW file and worked it more toward a straight forward PP workflow and I am pleased with the outcome. I did use various darks and lights masks in conjunction with a plethora of other CS6 tools but only in very selected areas. I'm getting there; be patient.

Much improved! More "realistic" yet with a painterly quality. Well seen and captured.

I liked the warmth of the original post but the bright neon greens in the trees killed it for me.
I think this one is better but needs a little more warmth on the sunlit sides of the barn  and a touch more luminosity on the foreground grasses and tree highlights.
