I *think* what Bugzie meant was to use Photoshop or whatever pp software you like to remove the tree branches - I don't think you want to crop either - in fact, I like it just fine as cropped.
Thanks Bugzie, sorry about the dust bunny. I'll clean that off and resubmit it, thanks, I missed it. My sensor needs a cleaning! As for cropping left, I say that a face needs space in front of it's view in composition. If you had a portrait with a profile ending at the margin, you would call for space. In this case the gables are faces. The tree limbs are subtle, natural and not distracting and in my opinion give some perspective as to place and season.
