For me at any rate, the photograph does a good job of capturing two emotions. The first is a feeling of open expanse and a resulting feeling of loneliness for someone in that vastness. The second is a sense of age and the passage of time as the weathered fence posts gradually succumb to time and gravity and are starting to fall off the edge. Looking at the scene I can almost feel the wind blowing against my face.

Overall it is a very good shot with good composition. A prominent foreground and vast, receding background. However I do not find it striking. Probably because the colours are a little muted. I would alter the brightness and/or contrast a tiny bit to make the colours a little sharper. That would probably increase the impact of the photograph.
