What do you think?

Should I remove the electric post in the middle and the electrical wires in this picture?

Shot using a 10-22mm Canon lens with polarizer.

I'd say the image would be stronger without them. Remove thenand see what you think.

I know. :) I was hoping the old, rusty barn will be the subject with the barbed wire leading your eyes to it. But that bush/weed plant in the middle is obscuring it.

But there is something about this shot I can't pinpoint that just draws me in. It's like my mind is trying to figure out if the tree is the main subject, or the barbed wire post, or the sky, or the barn.

exactly. maybe if the tree on the left was out, then one would focus on the right side of the pic and eventually the barn, but the barn is kinda small in this pic.

Until I read you comment about he Barn, I had not really noticed it. To use the line of the fence to draw your eye to the barn, would it not be better to be on the other side of the fence?? A positive thing I can say about the image is that I like how you have avoided putting the horizon on the centre line of the picture :)

My eye just keeps going to that bush caused by the leading lines from the fense. It just seems like there is a lot of haze. As far as the post goes, I would take it out. One less thing for my eyes to look at.
