You want your viewers eye to be drawn to that point of interest.  Too many other items draw focus away from the POI and clutters the image.  While the oak tree is gorgeous, the fence is rustic and beautiful and the entire scene is fantastic, the church is the POI.  With the church being so far in the background and all the other items in the photo surrounding the church, it loses its importance and impact.Had you taken that same shot from farther away and with a much wider angle lens and let the church just be a contributor to the over all landscape, but with the landscape itself the POI, it would have worked better.</blockquote>
