The camera was set to high contrast and high sharpness which probably isn't the best choice for tightly packed lines like this. I checked the original and it has the same problem so I don't think I sharpened much if any.
This was just one of about a hundred shots that I took in the park that day so I didn't overthink it. I was actually just going around wishing I had a zoom attachment because there were a lot of animals out - even a bear and cubs. I think they liked the cloudy weather. It was really windy and threatening to rain. That was part of the problem with the sky. It was about 7:30pm and getting so dark under the trees that I had to overexpose the sky to show the house.

YAY! I broke the top 5 :o)
Comments are really interesting. Someone will love the fence and other will find it distracting. One person will like the colors and another will think they're too bright. Someone likes the lighting and someone else thinks it needs a filter. There is obviously not a concensus on what makes a good picture.
I do agree on the composition comments, but the scene isn't perfect in real life either. Just off the bottom of the pic is a paved road. To the left is the opening in the fence, trees, and a covered structure. There really isn't a better place to photograph this cabin from the front.
As for the grass...it's those pesky park service people who went and mowed it. ;oP
