Colin,

I tried varioous crops on this and also on shots from slightly differing 
angles. 
This was my preferred view. I found that cropping to take the end of the 
shed 
out - or tighter somehow didn't give you the feeling of the sheer size of 
this 
rotting hulk.

Peter

PS I think that it will get restoed at some point, but i doubt that anyone 
thinks its soon. ;-)
