I went back to this one in view of the concerns some have mentioned, and I must say the truck doesn't bother me: in fact, I think it adds to the composition. My eye went immediately to the red barn, as one might expect, and then travelled to the right along the arc to the truck, before going to the sky. My only quibble would be I would have gone as close to the fence as possible to look over the top of the rusty wire and posts!

It must be the strong color and near center location. The insignificant wire fence has no role and the far elements fail to supply the necessary weight to count them as points of interest. Admit having looked at this only on my cell.

I might try a shot with just the fence, no truck, since I don't have one with just the truck and no fence.
