Thanks, SounderBruce, for your review. That's much appreciated. Would this image be better in your view? If so, we can use that in the article and here instead. If not, that's all good. Schwede66 03:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I think the uncropped version is better, but I feel there's not a strong case for either to be used as the hook image. SounderBruce 03:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Okay, we’ll leave it the way it is. Schwede66 08:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
