Bill, you might if you haven't already look into Lora Irish books both landscape and animal relief carving (Fox Chapel books). Also there should still be some WIP's and Step by Step instruction on this site.
Hang out in the Relief & Chip Carving Forum you'll learn a lot...ask questions...get help...show off your latest relief carving.

To my 'untrained' eye, it looks a bit too busy to truly see the carving within.

It is recognizable, but I think it needs more depth and/or separation between the elements (tree vs barn). If the wood is thick enough you could lower the background further. A little color would help too, if you don't object to using paint or stain.

Edit:
Re-reading what I wrote above, it seems more negative then I intended. It's clear you've worked hard on this carving. I think you're off to a good start. With a little more work, the final result will be a great addition to your home.
