That undergrowth be mature corn. Over the which I was not tall enough to see.

We (my neighbor and I) chose the site because of the barn. We wanted a long 
view, over a field, something interesting (like the barn) mid-distance, with 
the moon low in the sky. But we miscalculated a bit plus there was low-lying 
haze on the horizon. The sun didn't set until well after the moon rose, by the 
time the moon looked like a moon rather than a white blob, it was too high in 
the sky to be able to make the barn a more prominent element. We'll go back 
tomorrow, the sun sets a few minutes earlier, the moon rises 20 minutes later, 
and we have a better feel for the angles now.
Back to the undergrowth/corn: I have many shots taken from a few feet to the 
left, a point which allows me to look along the roadside edge of the corn 
field. And some from a bit further back, higher on the crown of the road we 
were on. I felt that this one that used the corn field as the foreground was 
less cluttered and allowed the focus to be on the barn and moon.

Thanks for looking Jack!
