Is it okay that I darkened the foreground to eliminate distraction? Or could a better composition been achieved? Sometimes I find myself hiding unnecessary detail by darkening it, but I want to be sure I’m not overdoing it.

Hi Wade, at my humble opinion the shadowed area of the image is doing more harm then good. for me the shadow is disturbing vision flow in the composition. Besides, the base shadow is not complementing to the grand structure.
The background sky is providing very good background to this majestic architecture having lighter colour. it prompts me to perhaps change camera location to capture the depth/length of this architecture. Trees may be added in the composition for scale.
the overall concept is very good and I would balance the tonality as per mid-tone curve. wishing good in your photographic journey. thanks.
Thanks for the feedback Vijay!
