I think the barn balances the trees, and the light and dark balance.

Looking at this and your alternative posted in the outtakes, my guess is why most people prefer the outtakes (including me) is the sky here looks a bit overdone. Well done with the TT placement though!

It deserved better than eighth place. My #1

One must never assume 😀😀😀 that one is not voting.
I've been away.
Thanks for the nice comment anyway.

The Comyns really are setting the standard. Congrats on a fine photo and a fine finish.

Beautiful shot. Well balanced asymmetrically and between dark and light as you mention. The rays in the sky look as if they were created with a cloning brush. I love the texture and detail in the foreground, I think it helps anchor the trees very well.

The barn really seems to ground the photo, and the horizontal lines naturally draw the eye to it. I love the lacy look of the trees against the pale sky, though "starburst" effect distracts a bit.

Balance/composition is excellent, though the fuzziness in the sky looks odd to me.

Lovely tones and processing, I think the balance is about right, in my top picks.

I am not sure how well the trees balance the barn, rather the best balance is between the relatively dark foreground and the dramatic sky. Overall, a great image, in the style of JohnComyn, which should be taken as a compliment.

Striking! I am not totally sure that the barn balances out the weight of the 2 trees. Still a nice photo.

Not sure if you are the same one who posted the 3 trees in the Main challenge, but I like this one much better. Look more balanced, and the barn looks nice.
