 |  | To Crop or Not To Crop?

So is anything around the edges annoying and/or distracting enough to call for a crop?
And anything else to critique?
Thanks!

| | | | I feel like my eye keeps getting drawn to the smallish shed-like building in the lower left. It's bugging me.

Not sure if it's taking too much away or not.
This any better?

Square always look awesome. In this case you're on par, but a little straightening/perspective correction would make this pretty much perfect.
We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed. |

Thanks. I could do a little straightening work. As for the perspective, I was limited to a hole I was peaking through in some sheet metal. But yeah, if I could have moved a little further to the right, it would've avoided the power lines cutting over the second bell tower, which is the main thing that bugs me about this shot.
*EDIT*
I know it's not very different than the last, but..
Here's what I got..

| | | | Don't crop at all. The original is the best framing.
This is way to sharpened, too orange, and the clouds are insanely blown out. Framing is fine though.
.... If you insist on cropping, get the rest of that orange building out of there.

| | | | Alright, definitely agree the clouds are too blown out for the image to really look realistic. Is it WAY too sharpened? I just noticed it looked a little bad around the foliage and the sky of course.
As far as the crop job, I also liked the original, but I could see the cruddy trailer-looking building distracting the eye.
All that said, below is the original image. Aside from a slight straightening (which I will get to). Are there any recommendations?

| | | | Honestly I think I like the first shot best. I don't see anything worth cropping, it makes the picture too awkwardly shaped and the distracting shed might be in the eye of the beholder. It didn't catch me.
The clouds looked very artistically unique in the first version, but each one is fine in their own way.
