Ditto, what she said. Double. For me, the fence, because it is parallel to the viewer and is not a leading line, doesn't add much. Truck? Maybe. I think it would have been a great photo without fence and without truck. Just sky and house and barn and lots and lots of field. But preference

Thank you Bruce. The thing is, it is far easier to get a sharp (for example) picture of most things and one can easily incline towards that without thinking too much. In contrast, when one thinks too much... well, nothing happens and no one can see picture, sharp or otherwise :) Now, I must
