Speed Painting: Composition Practice

In this task we watched a video talking about composition and its importance in creating a good looking image. We learnt about focal points, structures, balance and how to incorporate these into practice. We demonstrated our knowledge of composition by speed-painting this picture of a house:

When repainting, we had to recompose the image into an A4 landscape size, and where encouraged to try and make something with it. I produced the following below:

Aside from the lack of high detail, I feel that the composition of this image isn't too bad, the structure involves a subtle use of the rule-of-thirds (although could be more aligned to the crossing points) and there are a couple of leading lines that guide the viewer towards the main focal point: the house. as well as this the house has the most contrast in the image, but is balanced by the shading of the mountains on the left. I am pleased with how this turned out, and if I where to attempt this again I would probably attempt another composition and maybe add more detail overall.
