I agree with James about taking the shot slightly more to the left, closer to the fence, to improve the composition. I think I would also have tried to move the twig that’s next to the fence post out of view. Still it’s an appealing photo, if only because I enjoy the snow in (what appears to be) a country setting.
Another idea – I think this has potential as a b&w, with slight adjustment to lighting to make it even more crisp. And if the fence post was really old and gnarled, with lots of visual interest and character, you could consider cropping it to a portrait orientation. This makes it less of a landscape shot, and the fence post really becomes the only subject. I took the liberty of trying this with your photo. The resolution is not looking too good – getting pixelated, but you can get the idea. What do you think?
