Good symmetry, the second steeple on the right can probably be avoided.

Interesting perspective. You held shadow detail well. I would have liked to have seen the base of the buildings but perhaps you chose to crop as it is because of parked cars or other distractions.

I like this very well but I agree that the second steeple is distracting.

I'm with Lee. What you have is very nice -- clean lines, good contrast. But I can't help but feeling that the bottom of the photo is missing. Even with parked cars or whatever, some street would have made this shot more interesting i think.

I dunno I kinda like it without all the parked cars and what not. I think that it would destroy the clean lines and symmetry of the architecture. However I do think that that second steeple is taking away from the photo. It really just depends on what you are going for I guess. More real life urban feel I would include the cars and people but for a architecture standpoint the lack of cars and people is nice.

kunaldaswani,

Wonder if you shoot few structures and more portraits because faces are more interesting and have specific fascinating features? I was going to pass by this one, since windows are not eyes and doors are not mouths. Then I guessed you wanted to go for a new subject, and that's good. So I'll say it could use some space around it, and a duck.

I prefer the original...although, the road in the foreground looks kind of funny, in that it humps up a bit in the right. It makes your horizon look off, although it isn't.

I think it looks more complete, and the contrast is nice. The image is less clean and has a bit less of a pure "architectural" look, admittedly.

If you were feeling adventurous, you could try using skew/perspective to bring the road more in line.

EDIT: I looked again -- why not crop it right in the middle of the intersection?
