I'm not 100% on this edit, so C&C and suggestions are more than welcome. I lightened the fog a bit, and dehazed and sharpened the barn and a bit of the foreground. Thanks for any feedback you folks can give.

I like the direction of the edit overall.

Nits might be the crop has the barn kinda "tight" in the corner, and might like to have a slight bit more neg space (or not).

Also, I might not lighten the fog quite as bright as you have. In the given comp the mass of the fog is commanding over the barn ... I'm thinking the additional increase in tonal value for the fog, does the barn no favors.

I do like the WB shift away from the cool toward neutral / warm.

Thanks for the input! I did a really quick edit to bring the fog back down.

I think I do like your crop a bit more. I'll have to play more with the file and see. Thanks again.

The crop was my first thought, I like that tree at the right and would include the whole tree. Bringing out the barn is good as well. This is the kind of barn I seek, old, no metal roof and no electrical wires. Classic.

I agree with Ben about seeing more of the tree, and a little less of the fog to help focus the attention on the barn. Lots of potential to make it sing.

Thanks for the feedback, everybody. I went back and started from scratch on the image to incorporate the suggestions and have so far gotten it here:

I am totally on board with including the tree on the right and bringing the fog down.

I'm digging Karen's crop and I know I lean towards mono but this BEGS for a B&W conversion!!!

Cheers,

I like Karen's crop best, but I still think there is too much negative space, especially on top, and I was thinking about making the Barn more prominent, since that is the subject. A bit of "glow" may enhance the mood. Just another thought.
