The overall balance of this scene is nice. Good seeing. The front leaves in the lower left are in focus and lead us down the path to the barn, which is also in focus. That’s the right idea.
The redwood on the top, however, would look better connected to a tree; gratuitous branches dangling from the top of a frame aren’t good. The barn roof and sky are totally white, which isn’t good either.
Pick a foreground object that is lit the same as your background subject so nothing blows out. Or, change your position to cut out the white sky. #786053

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
