To my eye, it's cluttered by the foreground branches and the footbridge of the title is a minor part of the scene, which is dominated by the shed. I wonder if you'd achieve a better focus by getting rather closer to the bridge, so the large shed was reduced to mere background.

Thinking about the mowing makes me feel a little tired.  I respectfull disagree with kikashi, if I had to choose between the foreground branches and the bridge etc, I would go for the branches.  However, I think they are wonderful together.  After my one drink here, it is not too busy for me.  It is too green, but what are you going to do?
