Barbra Kates "Sunday Fav"

Looking through the viewfinder and focusing in on the Brew House Building, these yellow and orange stripes caught my eye. I wanted the background to be blurred, so I adjusted the aperture. The light was coming from the side illuminating the branch and the fishing line caught in the tree. I moved the camera around until I found the best framing for the float before squeezing the shutter. I shot several compositions and after reviewing them on the computer this was the most successful. What would I change? Any suggestions?

Canon 30D, 1/400 sec at f/5.6, focal length 375mm,
ISO 200, Manual mode, lens 70-200mm with 2x converter, WB - Daylight, hand held.

    This is a great photo! I love the portrait type of blurred background, with the offset branch and lure - very dramatic!
