It is a cool shot, but needs a lot more work in PP.

Firstly, you seem to have gone for a very squarish crop, which includes far too much sky and grass. Try cropping it down further to bring it back to a more 3:2 aspect, which would suit the shape of the building better.

The barn is slap bang in the middle of the picture which is a bit boring. When you crop the height of the image try taking more off the bottom than the top to sit the barn more on the bottom of the frame.

The lighting is quite flat, with the sky quite blown out and featureless. Hopefully you shot in RAW and have a 16 bit version of this, as it will be harder to rescue with only an 8 bit JPEG. In curves try just dragging the middle down to darken the image a bit and get more detail in the sky. Then push the contrast up to bring out more of the detail in the wood.

A B&W conversion might work well with this image and then you could push the contrast up even further to really bring out the texture of the wood and the roof.

I don't have PS on my work computer so I am just speculating on things that might help, without being able to try them out and see how they go.
