I didn't mean to suggest that you change it - I just played around a bit in PS and I couldn't really find a crop that didn't offer something unique.

Thanks for the comments. I tried various crops, but felt that reducing the grass made the image top-heavy, and I was reluctant to lose the textured stone at the top of the arch. I shall re-visit with your suggestions. Regards, Roger

A very nice shot.
You could crop this in a variety of ways and each would give a different perspective. You could remove the lawn completely. You could remove a great deal of the lawn and a bit of the top. Both these give the appearance of looking out an arched window.
As is, the arch is more firmly "planted" in the ground...and there is some interesting textures that are preserved. Any of these work for me.

Beautiful & serene. Possibly be cropped to 1/4 of lawn? Just a thought. Beautiful brick archway. Seems like it would be a perfect frame for so many things (I'm thinking of a bride & groom silhoutte).
