Architectural Detail -- Your Opinion

Out for my walk yesterday afternoon and I took this photo of the neighborhood church. I'm debating about the shadow on the wall lower left at the frame edge.

Clone it out or leave it there?

really Interesting; i like the contrasting colors of the bricks and the sky

While some of us might wonder what made the shadow, removing it would spoil the balance you have here. Keep it.

I like the way that drain pipe echos the roof line!!! That green patina is nice. High technical quality here, with pure white all the way to inky black! One thing about you, your images are always processed with a higher-than-average attention to even the most minute details. So yes...that shadow lower left corner....hmmm...I think I'd try cropping the left side just enough to get rid of the shadow...I think it causes more of a problem than it solves.

Thanks, yep, I love complement pairs and blue/orange is my favorite.

That's exactly where I'm stuck, and unfortunately I'm no longer sure if I can call it because it's started to nag at me. If it wasn't right there on the edge, but it does seem to add value to that otherwise empty space.

Thanks, the drain pipe roof line is what first caught my attention. I don't want to crop it so it's a clone job in my mind, but I still can't call this one. Here it is cloned out. I first wanted it gone but now that it's gone I want it back.
