There appears to be alot of potential in this shot, the complementary colors of the rocks and the rusted sickle, as well as the diagonal it involves. However, the green background creates a clash, by eliminating the distracting color difference it would improve the shot quite a bit. If it is altogather impossible to elminate, it could always be duotoned a rust color.

Nice qualities in this photo. Try cropping the sky out completely. I find it really helps my appreciation as the background becomes more uniform and even less intrusive.
