Maybe changing the vantage point, less foreground? less background? vertical w/less fence and more height to the trees? standing closer looking down along the fence and see if there's some pattern to the fence posts - see next time (if you go there again) what else you can do with it. The shadows could be interesting, maybe a different time of day or showing more of the shadows in the frame - lots of potential with this. If I'm not seeing what I want in my viewfinder I walk around til I see what looks better.
As it is, did you make copies and try any different crops? I'd think about cropping each side, maybe lose the post to the left (crop a little to the left of the tallest tree trunk?) then go about 5 posts to the right (an odd number can often balance better than even - learned that in art classes somewhere sometime), and crop the bottom and/or maybe top a little to balance what was lopped off. You could almost have two pictures here, one showing more of the foreground, another showing more of the background.
You saw an interesting subject that could make for a good photo, I think it's a matter of what's interesting about it or what caught your eye. What do you want viewers to see?
I can see the leading line idea, and the half-toppled post is somewhat interesting, but it needs a bit more in the way of a subject. I believe this is considered split rail, btw: <img src="http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=66593"/> I thought I had more of these from my trip to Gettysburg a couple years ago, but not too many show the fences themselves.
