my only suggestion would be a different angle, I like the boat in the image but not so much the porch post which doesnt do anything for the shot other than draw your eye toward it and away from what you want to be seen

I find having the boat in one corner and shed in the other creates a ping-pong effect - you keep looking from one to the other which is quite a distraction. The silo's on the left don't contribute anything to the image either I have to say.

I would suggest moving to the left and having the boat as the sole foreground interest with the view angled away from the silo's would create a much stronger image. It wouldn't matter then if you included the shed, as this would be moved into the middle ground of the frame.

Try asking something something a bit more specific than "what do you think" you'll get more responses.

By that I mean ask more along the lines of what you want help with.
