Is it possible to include the left corner of the upper stone ledge?

Have to go back to the neg -- see if I included all of the left side ... this was shot back in about 95 , I haven't looked at that travel binder for some years ;)..

I think the right and left sides being lighter actually helps. They lead the eye into the darker middle part of the image. An outstanding image - imo - immediately hits you the second you see it and you don't have to study it before making up your mind about how good it is. This one definitely hit me therefore - imo - outstanding. Is it perfect without any imperfections...... no, but I don't look for something perfect only very pleasing. :)
