Arthur, is the barn really leaning that much? I'm guessing this has been around since the late 1800's based on the stone? Really cool barn. Nice photo.

Here's my opinion on what's wrong: Too much foreground. The vivid colours of the grass and the sky take attention away from the subtly-coloured barn. The angle of view shows us what seems to be the least interesting part of the barn - a bare wall. The way the barn is leaning looks quite unnatural, if it was really leaning like that, I can't tell so from the picture. The lighting seems harsh and not very interesting. The barn doesn't look to be sharp, at least in this 72dpi jpeg version.
Here's what I would suggest: Do a different composition that would put more emphasis on the barn. Find an angle of view that would make looking at this particular building an interesting experience. Shoot in B&W to emphasise the texture of the materials from which the barn is built, and the age of the building. Shoot in softer light, have some clouds in the sky.
Keep shooting and posting.

Arthur, to me the image is too "static", or not alive. There is nothing to lead my eye into the photo, and the perspective you've used makes the barn look like it's leaning.
The fence would work better to lead the eye into the photo if you used it best to your advantage. If you positioned yourself to make the fence go diagonally from the lower right hand corner up towards the barn, the lines would draw the viewer into the image, and towards the barn. Perhaps a view of either long sides of the barn might prove more interesting, with the barn's windows adding some detail.
One thing to remember about landscapes: the difference between a simple snap shot, and a good photograph is planning and patience. Once you've found a landscape you like, you go back when the lighting and weather is optimal. A few nice puffy clouds would improve the sky. A couple cows or horses would add life to the shot. Keep trying, keep working, and you'll come up with better images overall.
