Your award was well-deserved, Debra!
There is an appealing graphic quality to this piece, where you've managed to define the old barns and outbuildings very well; yet not crossed over into an illustrative, over-detailed presentation.
I also love the S-shaped compositional feature; - that road that creates depth and leads the viewer's eye right back to the interesting focal point.

Well-done, kiddo! Best Wishes, -Scott
