Very nice!
Perhaps worth trying a square or 8x10 crop? The only thing I would crop for sure is the top 10% (the grass "head" in the upper left corner is a bit distracting).

Beautiful shot! Cropping the upper 10% like Slobodan suggested would even make it better but the original image is already outstanding. The fence in the background adds some "support".

It's a lovely image. I endorse the suggestion of a small crop off the top. I'm not sure about the horizontal wires, though.

Thanks very much. I have the opportunity to make some large prints, and if I can remove the power lines in the background it may be a candidate.

Remove this, remove that... :) I like it the way it is. Life is messy.

Life is messy, but photography doesn't have to be! Tilt the camera a few degrees and you change the image. I'd remove the top too.

Great quote! So true!
The horizontal lines are a definite distraction unless your goal is to make a social comment on how the actions of people are ruining the view.
On the other hand, I would leave the top in but, compositionally (or through Healing/Cloning), I would remove the one vertical grass stem that almost touches the top border. Then you would have a neat diagonal line of the tops of the grasses with the sun forming the apex of the triangle.

Lovely image!
In a big print I would remove the horizontal lines...

Great light! One thing that comes to my mind, though: in my opinion the dramatic light calls for a more dynamic composition than bilateral symmetry allows for. Also, while the lower half of your image does a good job in "grounding" your composition, the price for this is that it dilutes what your photo is all about (halos, when judging from your post´s title). Accordingly, you might want to try a more serious crop, such as this:
