Thank you Jim, I appreciate your thoughts on that ☺️ you are right, I will adjust it. There is a green compost bin thats why it looks a bit strange I think, almost the same value as the grass...

I really like the simplicity of this. 

There is one little thing that has caught my eye a couple of times. Right between the bigger tree trunk on the left and the smaller vertical branch directly to the right of it, there is some background space - and it starts where the fence ends, I believe.  The tone/value there are quite close to that of the tree, and I wonder if you lightened the tone a bit, it might help to push that back.  (Or, I suppose you could continue the fence on across.)  And, if you leave the fence as is, consider making the grass a bit lighter and slightly bluer in that background as well, it may help to push it back.
