Great perspective and very appealing photo. A wall hanger for sure.

The fence, it is not about the fence as much as it is about the time of day you chose to maximize the graphics of the shadow of the fence. The added character of the movement, texture, and quality of that line speaks to the viewer to draw them right into the door of that iconic little church. Some rules have been skillfully broken here, Rule of Thirds, "dawn or dusk", horizon line. In my thoughts your choice of those broken rules adds so much to this image. Right down the middle and horizon in the middle, so happy to see the impact of these decisions. When it feels right, it's right, but that's just my opinion. Now excuse me, I need to walk that path.
