the object is far more interesting than the background on the right, although there is more rust there you could have done away with it and focus more on the obeject at a better angle.
Because of the way you have framed this, I find my attention traveling down the rusty object, along the fence and settling on the winch over on the right - which I gues was not your intention.

Interesting piece you have here. It could work on several levels. As an abstract, (cutting out all the landscape) or as you have it, intruding on the countryside. Good seeing.
I don't knowwhy the right hand third of this picture is there. It does not help me locate the subject. I would have liked the camera positioned so that something of great interest dominates the foreground and becomes lost in perspective and focus. The depth of field hurts as well.
