Ok. So is it the composition, color, both... what? I am still learning.

No, its fine and the scene obviously spoke to you, so you had to take the shot! It is just a scene that I personally would have walked past without noticing!

I wonder what would have resulted had you shot from from the same angle but from the shadows. Also I would have booted that football out of the way. Then you could have had a possibility of the ladder legs showing a repeating pattern especially if the legs cast shadows on the wall behind the ladder. What you say about football and work in Texas is no doubt true, but when you start putting a story with your photographs, I think you have already lost the half the battle . This may just be me. I have never been a big advocate of titling photographs. I don't mind helpful identification. I am not much for Majesterical Monarch of the Mountains, but "bull elk Rocky Mountain National Park" is fine. I know you didn't title your photograph, and I am just sticking my two cents worth in. As far as not pulling the trigger on the ladder photograph, I can't begin to count the number of times I've taken the same kind of image. Then later on, I will look at it and say to myself "why in the world did I take a picture of that?" Actually something like a ladder or an old wheelbarrow are good subjects to try various camera settings on from various positions. One thing about it, it doesn't take much effort to press the delete button. I commend you for being out there with your camera.
