    A pity about all those wires but you can't really do anything about it.

    Possibly slightly too much foreground but you are already tight at the sides and top so a crop would mean having a different size ratio.

    Bruce,

    I think this scene has a lot of potential, but if it's close by, I'd re-shoot.

    I agree that it's too tight on the top and sides, particularly the right side (it's often good to have a little empty space in front of the subject). It has too much at the bottom, but that would be easy to fix. My rule of thumb is when in doubt, don't frame the subject tightly like this in camera. Leave a little room. it's easy to crop off excess in post-processing, but when there is too little in the frame, you're stuck.

    I don't particularly mind the wires, but the house on the right is a real distraction, and it disrupts the 'old stuff' mood. Is there an angle that would let you avoid that? it might be possible to clone it out, but with my mediocre skills at such things, it would take a lot of time and probably wouldn't work well.

    I agree, a lot of potential. I agree, a reshoot (if possible) to avoid the house on the right.

    This is the kind of image that is crying out for a sky replacement !
