Jaume, I don't manipulate digitally, so some others might know more about that. I don't think I would crop it. It changes the character of the compositon too much, the tall and narrow effect. Maybe the wires just belong there, and are part of the passageway. I tried to get another look, but

What are, if any, the differences between Kodak Max 400 and Royal Gold 400. I've shot some Kodak Max 400 (it was on cheap at costco, 2.80$ CAD/Roll) and the results were okay, but I shot some RG400 and the colors were much better. Kodak data sheets are almost identical, except for Royal Gold
