The first thing that jumps right out at me is the fact that the entire barn is not in the photo. It gives the appearance that you were driving by, and took the shot as you were speeding by and 'missed'. I am not saying that is what happened, but that it the impression that I get without having the entire barn in the photo here.
Also the colors seem dull. I realize that there isn't much color in the photo at all, but to me, leafless trees just don't seem to accent a photo very well. I think this particular photo would have higher visual impact in say a fall or summer setting.
Being from Michigan, I know how crappy the skies usually are, and how we don't get too many beautiful lighting days, so I definately understand, but doesn't change the fact that I think a little color could do some good.
Focus is a tad soft. I would definately like to see a crisp focus on the front of the barn to show some nice detail in the boards. I particularily like the ones near the top that are kind of peeling away.
This fits the challenge very well, there is no doubt in my mind that this is an abandoned building.

you handled all the lighting beautifully in this one. colors, while muted, are strong where needed.

Good composition without going overboard on saturation & sharpness.
I think I agree with you - abandoned for sure!
Well Done.

nice colour, but the sky looks a bit pixelated

I like the use of negative space.

This is a nice image. I like all of the line seen both throughout the building as well as in the trees. Nice work.
