I really like your composition here but the image looks quite flat and dull I can see that it wasn't the best weather up there. Maybe try a B&W conversion and boost the contrast a little?

thank you for your comments it was not the best weather Ill give the B&W conversion a go.
 
I really like the tonality of this image, the brown / sepia look works for me! I would of perhaps included less of the path and kept the barn closer to the left edge of the image.

Nice shot of the Lakes :)

just had a go at the B&W conversion suggested
 
which do you prefer? I can't decide but I'm leaning towards the b&w

I am undecided now myself I think the B&W works well I have also cropped the photo to see how that works

Uncropped B&W for me, maybe just needs a little artistic burning on the clouds to add drama to the sky?
 
uncropped b/w for me. i'd lighten the barn a bit and darken the sky
 
i think the crop has boosted the image. i was going to suggest that but then I saw you had done it already. Maybe bump up the contrast. It is an amazing image though. Love the little house/shack with the rolling hills in the background. im undecided on whether I prefer the colour or the black and white. The colour one seems to have a bit more of a story to it.

Hi Neil me and the wife like the colour one best it seems more true to life
 
I think its just needs a bit of saturation and contrast boost to enhance it.
Like this maybe?

B&W

thank you all for you comments and the tweaks that have been done must admit to being a novice with photoshop elements I find its working out how much you can boast the contrast Im still finding Im under doing it.
 
Canon T and Nikon F, neat work on an already great composition from the OP. What great team work TP is!
 
Yes - Barry's version works for me, prefer B&W to look a bit gritty if possible, and for this one it works well with that subject.
