The thatchers allowed me good access for photography. I wonder if the ladders add anything or are a distraction.

For me they're a distraction, my eye went straight to the poles on the right edge - but i couldn't find a crop closer in that kept any ladders without the ladders feeling too close to the edge. A square crop just inside the pole below the window might work, but there's not enough detail around the tool for me.
A square crop the other way, highlighting the window, thatch and ladders might be better.
Cheers, Des :-)
taking a slightly different stance to Des, i think the scaffolding and ladders add to the narrative, modern vs traditional tools/workspaces, makes me wonder how these guys worked pre-scaffolding, visually the poles keep you in the image and the horizontal ones create a leading line that takes you back to the thatch roof, nice tones in the image
