Several crop options here, but I wanted to keep as much wintry background in as possible. Won't work for everyone I know.

Slight crop
Neat image /CZM

Works nicely for me, although I think it would also work if you cropped the catkins off the top and made it a panoramic.

Thanks
David -I left the catkins in to try and mix the "Spring" feel with the winter.
Cheers
