A picture after my own heart!

Simple, indeed, but highly effective.  The tonally, colors, and geometry in perfect balance.

Were it mine, I’d be tempted to crop off the upper part, just under the brick wall. Without that recognizable element, the image would be even more abstract.

On the other hand, I can see why some would argue that the bricks patch balances well with the darker patch on the ground. This is especially so when the image is seen as a thumbnail. Once enlarged, the bricks start to bother me.

Good seeing, Todd. I agree with Slobodan. For me the bricks undermine the ambiguity of the rest of the image.

I agree also. But if you crop as opposed to cloning out the bricks, you will alter the proportions of the largest brown shape. For sure it will be more abstract. Lovely.

I'm in Slobodan's "On the other hand" category. I would keep the bricks.
Excellent abstract.

Keep the bricks and crop a wee bit off the bottom (in the vein of "and now for something completely different")

Thank you for all your suggestions. The bricks are my fav part because I feel like they invite me to walk around the corner -in a 2-dimensional plane. -But then I was there, so who knows what is memory and what is in the image in that regard.  -thanks, -t
