Well at least we've not seen the snow and gales here in South Lincs but it's very cold.

A vertical crop would really suit this IMO.
Nice shot

Tend to agree with Alan. The 'cross swords' are rather distracting. Nice capture otherwise.

Very considerate of you Paul - I can feel the sun on my back already
I don't know about a vertical crop to be honest, the subject isn't sitting right - it needs some space to the right so you are perhaps best as is.
Perhaps a tighter crop would work better
Pity you used f9 at that distance - f5.6 and drop the iso would have been the way I'd have gone - but then again, that's just me; hindsight and it being someone elses image always makes nit picking easy
Nice image all the same matey

Hi Paul,
I like this shot. I would try various crops and see what works best for you. You may find a more dramtic one.

I too would prefer a 'portrait' crop - other wise a really nice image!
