Old Barn

IMG_3994.jpg

I could use some suggestions on this one.
I toyed with the thought that I should of cropped out the front of the barn and only left the side wall in the picture. What would you have done? This is a area of my photography I need to gain some experince/knowledge on. I tend to want to include the whole of the item and yet I've seen some works where they don't and it seems to have a bigger impact. So your thoughts & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update, I've placed the original and two diffrent cropped pictures in my Massachusetts gallery.

I'm wishing now that I took a few more pictures zooming in on the wall of the barn.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
