Thank you Alan, When I took this photo I was looking for a way to shoot it clean without any strange objects in the frame. It couldn't be done there but I could crop it in PS7 but then I decided that it is better this way. I happened to me at the past that such objects that while shooting I was thinking how to put out of frame were at last the point of the picture. This time the object is not the point but doesn't distract also IMO. I would like to hear more opinions about this. I was thinking like you Alan about cropping this image.

I wouldn't crop it. Personally, the dark thing didn't bother me, but I tend not to object to imperfect realities in photos that seem to bother a lot of people.
