i absolutely loved your unedited version and i absolutely love this edited one too!!!!! ... you've lifted this image to poster quality .. i reckon ..

edit ... a while later . i'm having another look at the unedited version .. and that's pretty much poster material too!!!! .. its just more subdued .........

Very nice technique here; I liked this original image a lot, and though the colors were a bit muted, it still had a really nice range of tones and textures (for example, there was nice texture on the barn). This image really sparkles, though, with brighter tones throughout, and more contrast. Nicely done.
