Interacting with your subject -pulling up the weeds to the right of the post would have made it a better composition. The ones on the left add to the curent composition nicely. You did a great job of making me feel the roughness )and the subsequent sliver) of the post,
Really ugly, but in a really artistic way which I believe cancels it out and makes the photo all that much more impressive, I also enjoyed the variety of colors included in the palate.
