BUT NOW I HAVE TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION??????

What was gained in cropping the top off the church!?

You could have made this into a far more interesting and far better balanced 
... "NOT CHOPPED TOP OFF" architectural vertical photograph! With stronger 
feelings for what it was!

It could've produced a far better vertical photograph than this chopped off 
half photo image! Maybe I'm missing something here? Please enlighten me if I 
am? Thank you.

But given the space on each side of the doorway it gives one to imagine come 
in on each side and go straight up incuding the peak of the church and the 
compositional balance would've ceated a much stronger figure.

But then if you are one of those shooters "who doesn't crop out side of a 
square format?????????" I suppose answers my question?

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
