Only subjective critical thing to say - although hindsight is a wonderful thing - the road is distracting and so is the fence. This should be a 'timeless' image, so the fence dates it. Because the clouds 'make' the picture, it might have been worthwhile going over to the fence to shoot, which would have eliminated the fence and road. In the film-world, the term mis-en-scene basically means that every single element in the frame means something and contributes to the central story/action. When this is translated into stills photography, it means, when we have the time to do so, check every bit of the frame to see if the small parts contribute to the bigger picture or distract. That aside, very nice. It's a 'wish I was there moment'.
