Wasn't perfect. Had to shoot from bedroom window on mini tripod or would have lost it.
The harsh wall/fence is actually a bungalow roof
I was pleased with the colours

When I first opened this thread I though the image hadn't finished loading!
The colour gradient of the sky does look good but that roof is so off putting you are just left with the though "Where is the rest of the picture?".
Sorry to be harsh but I don't post "Great picture!" unless it is.

Agree with you, but i was criticised for composition, so i really tried for the thirds rules here, and thats why the roof is there

Hope you don't mind, I'm no expert but I extended the sky slightly in Photoshop (and removed the Bungalow).

Don't mind at all, but would appreciate a quick overview of how you did that, as i have not even touched photoshop yet!!
Thanks mate

My method of doing it isn't the best way, but it worked and was quick.
Basically I moved the image down (to remove some of the black, leaving a gap at the top of the picture), copied part of the sky from the top of the image and rotated it 180' and moved it into the blank space at the top to fill it.
Next I used the spot healing brush tool to paint over where the new sky part was, to merge it in with the gradient of the old sky.
Removing the barn can be done in a similar way.
If you leave me your email I'll send you a quick (it takes about 30 seconds) video of how to do it.

it looks well better without the bungalow in the frame

Not too bad but I feel that with most people the composition is slightly off to what it should be. Also I really think that you need to try and enhance the colour of the sky in photoshop as it really doesn't look red enough at the moment.
