Well its a good idea but there is allot of stuff in the photo that is distracting you from the barn which is not Ideal, In a photo like this well you cant do much about the distracting stuff. I think it cold have potential but it appears to be either really soft or not quite in focus. if that was not a issue with the right processing I think this could be pretty good.
If you are new to photography it will take a little while to get the hang of things so just keep at it. on something like this you want to make sure the camera is focused on the bar its self and not the surrounding bushes or trees.
Needs more barn, less brush. A shot done from INSIDE the old barn might look really cool! The way this is shown, there's just not a lot of genuine visual interest for me, a disinterested third party some 2,000-odd miles away.
I always set my camera to single point focus, that way I can use the arrow buttons to move the focus point to any spot I want. letting the camera decide what to focus on is not always the best idea. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work. not sure if you camera has that option or not but if it does that is usually the way to do it.
