Traditional Architecture

Here's a rather traditionally framed architectural shot of the fountain in Empire Square, The Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. The World Heritage Hieronymites Monastery dominates the background.

The monastery provides a quite detailed backdrop for this fountain but the foreground feels lacking. Any suggestions on what I could have used to add a little interest in the foreground? Or would cropping it out all together, work better?
