Nice puzzle 🙂 Do you have the game that it came from? I write a free chess tactics e-mail newsletter (sign up at http://tacticstime.com), and this is the type of problem I like to use in there! Realistic position, 1-3 move combination.
The newsletter comes out every other day, and I think that most people who enjoy reading the forums here would like it! I use a ton of RHP games.

Also, I will give your newsletter a look. If there's one area of my game that desperately needs improvement, it's tactics.
