Thanks Darren, I think you're looking at the aspect ratio with the matting included. That's why you get the odd numbers. I'm a bit fascinated that you bothered doing them, actually... :-)
Notice the shadow diagonal on the left side. If you crop out more of the bramble, that line will look odder than it does here. Also, the twigs themselves will look more like intruders into the frame than part of the composition. I don't see that throwing the swans off-centre improves the image more than further cropping will counter. But thanks for the suggestions anyway! Much appreciated.
