help for a 2nd try

Newbi looking to improve. I thought I saw a potential photo but I missed it. Looks OOF, not sure what happened, so I'm going back to try again.
couple things, its not my property so I can't restage, there is a brand new roof on the shed above the shovels which I thought looked out of place. I also want to clone out the off color shingle between the shovels when my editing skills get past "auto correct"
So, is there a cool photo here? Any suggestions on how I can capture it?
Thanks for looking and for your thoughts...

edit, had shot on a tripod day before, remembered to turn IS off......forgot to turn it back on.....its a journey.

I guess it "could" be made into a cool shot with a lot of work, but there are so many more interesting things on this Earth that I wouldn't go worrying about this one picture.

As you stated, there are so many things you mentioned, and probably a bunch more you haven't even noticed, that it probably isn't worth a ton of effort to mess with it.

What I see (besides what you pointed out)...
1) Not enough space on the top (new roof, I know). It makes the big shovel too close to the top of the picture, and frankly, too close to the bottom also.
2) The whole image could use some horizontal space also to help the scene breath and set the stage more.
3) The picture looks to be shot straight on. It would have maybe been better at some sort of angle.

Keep shooting...make sure you NAIL focus, #1 priority!!!

Looks like the the photo was taken out of focus

Out of focus or camera shake. But imo a boring picture front on. try another angle maybe but I don't think it would help much against that wall.

Thanks guys, note the name, aceTOOLguy, so i loved the old shovels. I'm going to use the scene as a learning tool, its close enough for me to get there. Maybe just shoot the two d-handle shovels next time.
Thanks again.

I would try a different angle and better focus. I know it's hard to tell on that little LCD screen if it's in focus. That's why I usually zoom up on it in camera to make sure it's in focus.
