Crop out the tree on the right or leave it?

I say crop it makes the shot seem less busy or cluttered

Definitely crop. Changes the whole tone of the photo.

Don't crop ..... you need the space to balance out the name of the building. Otherwise you run it straight into the edge. What you may consider instead, is replacing the tree with something else, maybe even extending the sides of the building.

Agree with Bob Y. Besides, I like trees.

Yeah, I agree with Bob Y also. Cropped the building ends too soon, but I don't like the tree there either.

Think I'll re-take the photo giving myself more room to start with. Glad to see the responses were mixed telling me the answer wasn't obvious! Thanks guys.. I do tend to crop too tight in camera. Was taught that back in the film days!

If at all possible I would swing left and place the name left of the sculpture. Thereby bringing the whole tree into the picture. To me the left side doesnt balance with the right. Just one mans opinion. Thanks for giving us something to think about Gd

Cropping makes the sign unbalanced. Clone away the ree if you don't like it

I like it better cropped. The tree is a little distracting.

St. Louis has Laumeier Sculpture Park which has things like this and many, many more.
