You had plenty of light, so shooting at F/5.6 was a creative choice that limited your depth of field to only a few barbs or so of the barbed wire. I tend to try a few apertures in shots like this, and a few focal points, and decide later which I prefer.
The most interesting parts of the image to me are the fenceline, the resulting shadows, and the tower. The tower is out of focus (aperture choice) and the fence isn't really in the frame, then is further obscured by the vignette (which I assume was added in post).
I like the idea. The exposure is spot-on, nice mix of light and dark. The muted colors lend themselves well to the environment. I look forward to seeing more!
