This is a great shot.:clap :clap The sky and the dark foreground give a sense of foreboding while the lighter foliage by the house and the house itself evoke a sense of safety and refuge. The light plant in the right foreground leads the eye in towards the house but IMHO the light plant on the left foreground interupts and diminishes that transition. (It seems like it's just sticking out there and serving no purpose). I'd like to see that toned down to match more closely the surrounding grasses or removed altogether and see how that looks. Just my $.02 for what it's worth (which ain't much cause I often suck at composition).

I like the old house with such a dramatic sky. Looks like a very lonely place.
