Rebel Yell (Again)

This is a picture I took this past weekend in some small town my friends and I got lost in haha. What do you think?

Altho this is a nice try at a good idea, I think there are a couple of problems here with exposure and composition.
The shot is really contrasty, blown out highlights and black shadows - see the histogram below.
Second, a significant percentage of the image is taken up by non-contributory, OOF foliage. The porch is seen at a rather acute angle and without much detail. I think this would have been much more impacting a photo is we could have seen more more of the porch and in good detail

You would have been better off exposing for the important parts and leaving the other stuff out of the picture.
