I like that depth and structure on the left, it keeps it from being too flat. My main failure, I think, was to use too much dark ground; I should have moved the frame up to show more sky and less black foreground.

I have a whole series from that evening, and several are just as spectacular. One is facing north, with a main cross (the father) and a dozen small crosses in two rows of 6 (the children) with telephone poles replicating the cross theme and a thunderstorm in the background.

The reason I suggested moving to the right was not to eliminate the left fence line but to dramatize the perspective by creating a "vanishing point" where the centered cross and the fence right angle change would nearly intersect on the horizon.

A photographer takes thousands of pictures; every now and then he is lucky enough to be carrying a camera.
