The Ol' Stone Wall

While looking for turkey, etc. on a friend's property the other day, I was walking up to this wall to sit for a break. There is a steep drop behind the pines, and I also liched the lichens coloring the stone in contrast with the tree barks. Cropped down a bit from the top, but didn't want to do it too much leaving the wall dead center. It was a rather gloomy day, shot at ISO-160, 1/80th at f-3.2... thus a tad bright at the very top. Thanks for any C&C and larger view is recommended.

I like the layered composition and the wall makes quite an interesting subject especially with the repeated verticals of the trees. My only nit is the overly bright sky at the top.
