This one was taken on our choir tour in Canada as well. Several of mine are. Do I need to take out the stoplight in the picture? Suggestions/comments are always welcome. As always, hope you enjoy.
I'd say not. It's in an awkward place to clone out and there'd be a big risk of it being very obvious. I don't think it detracts anyway. I know how difficult it is to get shots like this, living in London buildings are the most obvious subjects. You did well with this one.
The stop light is minimal to the overall scene. My first impression is the dual convergance. First from the right side leaning in and then the left side leaning back. This is so distracting to the eye and brain imo. You have captured some fine detail in this stately building however. As Nigel quite rightly pointed out, it is difficult to get good shots of these subjects.
