Simpler is nearly always better. Start by identifying the theme that drew you to the scene. Do anything you can think of to eliminate the elements that do not enhance this theme, including changing lenses, moving closer, moving sideways, raising or lowering the camera, physically moving things. Try getting on a ladder or standing on a hill. Also try different angles and look at the scene in as many different ways as possible.
Film is inexpensive compared with going back to try it again so shoot lots of film.
Consider using black and white film to simplify conflicting elements in the scene. When you can, bring the photograph back to the scene and see if it came out the way you expected it to. Eventually you will get better at visualizing what you see with what you get. Sharpness is lacking in many of the images I see. Use a tripod and a cable release.
