A really nice scene Sara and the the light and shadows are great. You might have overdone the effects but photoshop is no piece of cake. I still don't understand itl. You are on the right site to learn.

You have a good foundation in this image. You used the tree at left as a framing element that allows the viewer to direct his attention into the frame. The building at right serves a similar purpose. Now the Rule of Thirds would have served you well here, because you could have placed elements (like the fence) at critical locations within the image. The fencepost with a can is probably the most important element in the entire image due to its high albedo, so its placement would be critical. I suggest you visit the Rules Of Composition (see above) periodically as I do about once a month. It really helps me a lot. Cheers, Sara. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff.
