I would crop the background with the sky and house but maybe more antil the front side of the fense to keep only the bench.
Also I would convert it to b&w and decrease the brightness.
Lovely subject Stutter, and probably worth going back to photograph again. Aside from the top of the image being very blown, I think you might have chosen a different angle from which to capture your image. It looks to me as if this was taken from eye level, looking down on the bench. A shallower angle would of course have brought even more of the sky into the image. Perhaps if you’d taken the image from one side, or even lying down, at a different time of day when the light might have been kinder to you. And even moved the footrest into a more symmetrical and flattering position. From the title you’ve given this picture, it might also be an idea to include something of the ‘view’ that’s implied. Nice idea overall though and I quite like it.
