Just a quiet morning scene out in the country earlier this week. No snow-covered branches this winter, but plenty of moody bare branches in dormant pastures.

I think you got it right by leaving the fence in, adds more interest for me. Great shot.

I seldom disagree with Ken, but the fence makes a more real scene and we become spectators to the implied "action"

I definitely thought about it. I was going back and forth on whether it was worth the extra effort to get rid of it--sometimes the results are underwhelming. But if this image should be favored for the calendar and others felt it was worth it, I would definitely be willing to submit a "B" version without the fence so a final decision could be made on it. :-)

Not cloning, but removing the fence was the first thing I thought about. Photoshop's Remove tool works like magic in way less time than trying to clone it out. Either way, though, it's a great image, made better without the fence, IMO.

Beautiful and misty, even the fence plays a big part of the feeling here.

As others have said, it's a lovely gentle scene which can tell a story ... I wonder if you considered cloning-out the fence.

Lovely comments so far - to go with an equally lovely scene. That mist is magic and I, too, really enjoy the framing.

Yes, cold and bare... A beautiful whisper.

What a gentle, romantic image. The young tree being acknowledged and greeted by the elders. There is a soft smile all over.
