I've decided to crop this. I'm finding the red at the bottom distracting. Cropping the bottom so that there is no red makes the photo just a study of blue and it looks better to my mind.
 
@keithostertag Thank you. No I don't think it affected it at all or any of the other shots on the roll. I had always understood that the carry on (hand luggage) X-ray machines do not affect film (unless it is very high speed e.g. Delta 3200) but that the scanners for checked-in (aircraft hold) baggage use much higher doses. I accidentally packed the exposed film in my checked bag and was expecting it to be damaged but I can see no sign of damage. I did some research which suggests that the modern X-ray scanners use much lower doses than they did in the past.
