Thanks, Gerry.

Its a cracking shot as it stands, Rob.

My first thought was down the traditional route, ie rule of thirds, and the subject should have been more to the right of the frame with space on the left.

However, given the lady is looking straight out of the photo and that great smile means there is only one place you are going to look and I think a square crop would work well.

The field to the left of the woman is darker than on the right; and there is a halo running down her back. It is a compelling composition but I think the whites in the clouds should be pulled down a bit, because they are competing with her face at the moment.

same here. maybe crop the woman out and blur background/ fix over-processing.

bring subject out more.
