Don't crop it out! There'd be no sky left. Clone it out if unwanted. I'm of two minds. I also
like to see what it was like when you were there. Go figure. On the left I'd do about
1/16th of an inch to 1/8th because I like seeing the misshapen piece with loss on the left.
For a postcard? Yah, a combo of these things, but I like it as is too. I was intrigued by the
ruins on the lower right. They look a bit like a pyramid shape - and the stones/bricks look like what you see in a fanciful romantic-era painting.

Oooooh, lovely. I'd crop out the scaffolded building on the right, and about a half inch along the left side.
