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 given to the sky.
My $.02.

Mark - I think you misunderstood... when I said the sky is is the

in my eye, that is the center of interest

Thanks Ann. Coming back to this image tonight I'm seeing the dark
clouds in the upper left to be a problem - competing for the center
of interest but also not so much conveying the sense of the
approaching storm. (I was blowing like mad when I took the shot so in
my mind the sense of the storm coming up is very real, but I'm not
just looking at the photo.) But the only way to mitigate the cloud is
to go to a weird crop, like 16:9....

The sky is the thing for me. - but the barn is just right and the
fence is fine too -- if I started getting nit-picky I would just say
that it isn't that there is an object on the far right (the truck)
but that the truck is too modern looking - the barn and the fence
look like they could be from an earlier time.
Is your truckless frame the same in all other regards? would like
to see that

Thanks, Marne. I think you are right about the competing centers of
interest. I have other shots without the fence and truck. I might
try a shot with just the fence, no truck, since I don't have one
with just the truck and no fence. Without one or the other I don't
think there is enough going on in the image.

Great sky.
I usually love your shots, it's strange to me to say I have some
quibbles. Something about the placement of the barn, re fence and
passing truck isn't pleasing to me. (Too many focal points? Not
sure.)
I would have walked closer to the fence to leave it out. (I'd say
crop it, but don't think it can be done now. At least not without
cloning.)
Take with a grain of salt, Marnie aka Doe :-)
