Very nice, Preston! The composition is top-notch and I am also taken by the colors and contrast. The fence shadow is a great element here.
I find it interesting that the fence ends up right in the middle of the window. I wonder why?

I like this a lot, Preston. Wonderful light. Love that shadow of the fence.

I love it Preston. Agree with Sandy, but in addition, it's not just the light, it's the shadows too - together this is making for an excellent image.
My two cents here, but I have two suggestions. One, I might back off the saturation just a smidge in the wall boards just left of the window - where it's really yellow/orange. It's not far off reality though and well within perceptions. The second thing is that the greens at the bottom of the fence seem to be lacking some deep shadows and something doesn't look right with the midtone greens - almost clipped or something. Have no idea what's going on there and tough to call from this small web version.
I absolutely love the scene though. Wonderful crafting of light and shadow.
