I really wouldn't do much with it. With respect to Nathan, I don't agree with cropping the "tall tomb" which is I think the cross over the entrance to the churchyard. If it is then I think that it is too integral a part of the image to cut. FWIW it's worth, can I offer a choice of two other crops? Both yield strong images. (i) crop so as to renove all but a thin strip of snow along the foot of the wall. This throws the wall into dark relief against the snow and increases the isolation. (ii) Crop up from the bottom as in (i) but also crop down from the top to just above the right hand hilltop. This gives a much stronger effect than in before which, combined with the curve of the wall, is even more powerful and almost fish-eye like. Try and see. In either case, the original remains a great photo with strong light and tonal values.
